Love the saying, "There is no elevator to recovery, you'll have to take the steps"..... I did feel immediate relief doing the 1-2-3 waltz, but in order to get to where I needed to be I had to work all 12 steps. It's not just a matter of working the steps, it all boils down to putting them to work in our lives each day. I found a brand new me, a new and improved model. In order for me to keep it fresh, I've had to work on it each and every day....
How's it working for you? O.D.A.T... SG

I agree. I also had to work all twelve steps before I could really find the peace and serenity I sought. I have worked step 4 and 5 4 different times. Every few years I get it out and get with my sponsor. I work the first three very often. And of course I do the maintenance often. The more I work the steps, the more I can feel them working in my life!

My sponsor always said that "sobriety" meant soundness of mind. I believe that is applicable to the family and friends of alcoholics as well as the alcoholic/drug addict. Drugs come in many form, we have our own addiction to the alcoholic. I can't have sobriety in my life if I am out there walking his/hers. As the slogan says, "How Important Is It?"
