Possibly my first week was like that. It is not part of the AA program, but one day, one hour, one minute even is quite a good strategy for surviving the first few days until the program begins to bite.
Are you done? is a question that should be asked of the newcomer, but perhaps with a bit of explanation. It could mean, are you done with drinking for good, or are you done with your old ideas, are you ready to try it our way? That phrase "We stood at the turning point" Could it mean we are at the point where we will either continue on, or turn away from the old path and get on the new one?
I saw relief from the misery on the new path. I was done with the misery, I was done with "my way" I had been given the gift of desperation and was willing to do anything to get rid of the misery. Stopping drinking seems more like a by-product than anything. It was the result of the action.
