Good morning, ya'll. I have a question that has been bothering me for almost the length of my "Not Drinking " sobriety . Two years and 3 months. I do 10 of the 12 steps. I like going to meetings. It grounds me for the day. Most of the time, i feel judged that because i don't do the 4th step, i will never be happy. I believe the big book states that " We suggest you follow these steps" I believe it also says " RARELY have we seen a person succeed who does not follow these steps ". It doesn't say NEVER have we seen a person...... I guess Im just going through it. I don't have the desire to drink today. This is the 1st time in my life that I have been involuntarily unemployed. I have lost a great friend to overdose, then two days later I lost, what I considered, a brother. He was killed in a bar altercation. I have had surgery on both my knees. All this in a 4 month time span. I never even considered picking up a drink or line. Just venting. Higher power bless and have an AWESOME DAY!!

I hope your rough patch is over. Whatever works for you is what works for you! As long as you are sober.
Thank you. Have a blessed day.
There's an old saying, if you don't do a 4th you'll surely do a fifth, get it ...
Bless you Wayne. I never drank 5ths
