I was desperate. 25 years of walkng in and out of meetings, getting sober, not staying sober, was I sober?, makingreallybadlifedecisions while drinking...
I was desperate to change something. I was scared to death, too. I heard someone share her story at a noon meeting on a Friday afternoon. she and I met on Sunday and Monday working me through those steps--for relief.
Relief came that first night. I had gotten through step 7 in one long day. Lengthy discussions. Good food (thanks to that woman as I was dead broke) and more discussions.
I started to believe in a higher power when I got through step 7 and my obsession and desire to drink was removed. Completely. Gone.
An experience is difficult to explain.
