Harbor Light – 2015/09

“Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.” The step that separates the sober man from the hopeless drunk… Having hit my absolute bottom after relapsing for the umpteenth time in early 2002, I finally sobered up for good in a tiny desert town with the priceless help of a sponsor who happened to be a longtime family friend and a sober member of AA for more than 25 years. I carefully completed the first eight Steps, which included a true “white light” experience in Steps 6 and 7 that instilled hope and confirmed the limitless power of God, our fellowship, and our beloved program.
