Forgiven

I sobered up in AA in Melbourne, Australia in 2000. It was suggested that I find myself a sponsor and start work on the Twelve Steps, so I did. I wrote a thorough moral inventory of myself and confessed things to my sponsor that I thought I would take to the grave. I remember sitting on my sponsor’s couch, my cheeks hot with shame. When I was done, I made all of my amends, most of which were indirect.
