17 days sober

and I'm off to make coffee at the big book meeting. Finally got more sleep, 6.5 hours last night, woohoo! It's amazing what a difference some sleep can make.

Thanks Sapling

So I asked my sponsor when I will work the 4th step....HAHA. She was like You're on the first step, you are building a foundation. Nice to know since she asked me all the questions about the first 3 steps already over the phone. I just wasn't sure where I was. So now I know. Sloowww down. But I really was hoping to go faster.
Glad there were a few others there to help me make coffee today because I totally forgot everything they told me on Friday! LOL. That's the first time I ever made coffee in those big urns.
Anyway, good meeting!

It didn't take me very long to take those first three steps....I wouldn't wait too long.

You can read The Doctors Opinion and pages 1 through 60....If you're convinced with the ABC's....Your ready for step 3...The 3rd step Prayer is on page 63. I had those down before I had a sponsor....I went over them with him and started writing. Good luck on your journey.

Nice work on the 17 days I know it has not been easy. If you have trouble sleeping tonight do attempt to read the Doctors opinion it has put many a alcoholic to sleep.

Thanks guys,

TDP, Thanks mate!

Sapling and Firehazard, I'm going to my sponsor's house tomorrow to do some step work. Right after I posted about wanting to move faster on the steps, she told me to come over so we can get to work. I shoulda just kept my mouth shut and been more PATIENT. Patience is not a strong suit with me.
We read the Doctor's Opinion over breakfast last Sunday. and I do read my Big Book.....so it's funny you should touch on those things!!!

On a sidenote, I'm chuckling at everyone's member "location" on this thread so far.
