Congrats on step 4! I found the next 2 really hard so be ready for that!

Funny how semantics make such a huge difference to me in this whole pursuit of contentment without booze. I know you aren't supposed to 'take what you want and leave the rest' but if tweaking things makes them easier to assimilate mentally than do it. I see too many people just say 'f it' and leave because they find some aspect of AA unpalatable. Better to stay, do your best than to leave and be alone. Progress, not perfection.

The guilt for me was always straight up AA. I would run from the herd at times....a lot. And that made me feel guilty. Like if I wasn't always running in the middle of the pack, I was being selfish and full of ego and terminal uniqueness. Sometimes ya leave because you're tired. Nothing more.

Have a great day !
