Harbor Light – 2015/05

“Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.” The principle of Step 5 is integrity – an unimpaired condition; soundness; adherence to a code of moral, artistic, or other values; the quality or state of being complete or individual. What a principle! I don’t know about you, but this vocabulary was never a part of me in my drinking days. As for the fifth step, this was terrifying to me for several reasons. First off, why would I want to tell someone all of the secrets that keep me drunk? Second, I am a coward, and unwilling to walk through fear. Third, why would I tell someone about my sex life? That’s none of your business!
