7 Hours and a Box of Tissues

I did my first Fifth Step with my sponsor Neena. I had about eight months sober. It was the best day of my life. I became a different person that day. Two weeks before we read the Big Book up to the Fourth Step. Then Neena said, “For the next two weeks I want you to work on your Fourth Step for 15 minutes every day.” We prepared my notebook like it shows in the Big Book with columns. I was to write at the top of each page FEAR (False Evidence Appearing Real). She said for me to call her when I needed help.
