Hang in there.
I too found Working The Steps a relief from the burden of guilt. For years I held myself responsible for failings in our family and it was only through Working The Steps that I came to accept that most of it was not my fault.
Perhaps there are thing you have done in your past that weighs heavy on your concience.......Steps will help you to right some of it.......where amends cannot be made you will learn self forgiveness........you will understand the wisdom of letting go......
