Chip you are another miracle of recovery, if I could just share one thing with you from my experience, you think you feel good now, man read the promises after the 5th step! I can attest that doing the 4th although it may bring back some thing we would like to forget is all worth it once you do your 5th!!!
Thanks for sharing Chip and giving this old drunk hope that I can stay sober today!

Taz,
I want to finish my 4th step before Christmas, and get the 5th step done in the early new year. I've done a partial 4th step, but it was more of a "chip's novel". I'm working on a chart version, and I'm trying to follow the method outlined in the BB and the 12 & 12.

It was good for me to re-read my list tonight. I don't think as much about how long I've stayed sober anymore. I try to think about how I can be a useful person TODAY.
I used to pat myself on the back for being sober. Today, I realize it's just a matter of DOING WHAT I SHOULD BE DOING. This really dawned on me during this 3rd year of sobriety (yes, I'll turn 3 this year). The novelty has worn off, and it's become a way of life.
Life has improved in all the ways I listed. I no longer live in fear. I know as long as I stay away from that first drink, I have power over my addiction. I don't claim that this power come from me, but it comes to me from my HP.
It's great to be sober. Thanks for bringing this thread back to the surface for me to reflect upon.
