Once at a meeting held in a church, I

This is what I found and pretty much exact to me. I found it interesting also to look at it as part of my recovery & see my defects of character an...

The Third Tradition allows me membership in this club, because I have a desire to stop acting out. Last night, I proved to myself, once again, that my acting out is not pretty. I no longer want any part of it. Last night I meet with my sponsor and went over my First Step. As we went over the inventory, there were things that I would have rather not have shared.
