Wow Bri. I just read that and thought about posting it here but decided not to. I'm guessing that he vomited while passed out and choked to death.

Another tragic story. 40 with a young baby.

Either way - it's ugly.

So, today I am working on my 4th step (made a searching and fearless moral inventory) and my 5th (admitted the exact nature of my wrongs).

They must be kidding! I can just see the founders of AA saying, "Look at that! The idiots are actually doing it! (snigger). I wonder what else we could fool them into doing?"

I am exhausted. I never realized so many emotions would surface in the process of doing this - so much anger and guilt. And this is with what I admit to being a shallow and terrified immoral inventory.

Looking back on my life, I am so filled with regret. Why on earth did I do all those stupid things? Why did I ever pick up my very first drink when I knew first hand what alcohol did to my father?

I have been putting off these two steps for a year, and now I know why. If Wolf's outfit wasn't so far away, I think I'd go check in at her place.

The one good thing about this is that I have a terrific sponsor who is very simpatico. The other good thing is that I am going to be finished with it soon.

For any of you 12-steppers out there who have done a 4th and a 5th, my hat is off to you.

Day at time - yep, yep. I now have a year and two months!

i come from a family of addictions. i struggle myself with nicotine in various forms, myself, and food as well. i feel a little blessed that alcohol is one that hasn't caught me as it has so many in my family but i've been intimately acquainted with the alcoholic process through said family and friends, as well as other forms of substance abuse. for those of you trying to fight your addictions, whatever they may be, please let me offer my heart-felt wishes of support and encouragement. you can do it - remember that. Even if you slip, don't give up. keep fighting your good fight to make your life better - it's worth it. Be strong, be proud, and be yourself. I'm pleased and proud for you all, even if I don't know you personally.
