Sil-SeaSo my step sponsor said to start writing my 4th step as part of my homework this week. And so it began, in the parking lot of the CVS this morning as I waited for it to open.

Followed my notes, did my assignment, called my sponsor and said I probably wouldn’t be ready by Wednesday. She said she didn’t expect me to be done, just started, and that it could take upwards of a month.

I have to admit – I have issues with doing this at all. It feels nitpicky. It feels unnecessary as I have already given up all this stuff in the confessional and been forgiven. It’s all tossed into the
I have issues with this, people. I know, I know – it’s part of sobriety. It’s part of working the steps.
I know I know I know.
I want an easier, softer way.
