Completed my fourth step today
It was difficult and draining, but I feel a bit better now.
I'll go over it with my sponsor this week. I'm sure there will be more work to do on it but I was as thorough and honest as I could possibly be.

My sponsor tells me "god honors effort". If I do my best, and obviously my best is never perfect, then god will take care of the rest.
Congrats, anxious to hear how the fifth goes, there are some truly awesome promises that follow the fifth step.

• Once we have taken this step, withholding nothing, we are delighted.
• We can look the world in the eye.
• We can be alone at perfect peace and ease.
• Our fears fall from us.
• We begin to feel the nearness of our Creator.
• We may have had certain spiritual beliefs, but now we begin to have a spiritual experience.
• The feeling that the drink problem has disappeared will often come strongly.
• We feel we are on the Broad Highway, walking hand in hand with the Spirit of the Universe.

This was the one that hit home for me....
The feeling that the drink problem has disappeared will often come strongly.
I don't even know how many days it was...It just dawned on me....I haven't even thought of a drink in awhile.....That's pretty fricken amazing.
