REMOVING THREATS TO SOBRIETY
". . .except when to do so would injure them or others."
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 59
Step Nine restores me to a feeling of belonging, not only to the human race but also to the everyday world. First, the Step makes me leave the safety of A.A., so that I may deal with non-A.A. people "out there," on their terms, not mine. It is a frightening but necessary action if I am to get back into life. Second, Step Nine allows me to remove threats to my sobriety by healing past relationships. Step Nine points the way to a more serene sobriety by letting me clear away the past wreckage, lest it bring me down.
