    Hi Heart, my name's Dan. I'm not a die-hard AAer but I am an AAer. I think you may get responses from some "old-timers" in AA but I'm sorta on the "outs" with some of them today because I am not a rigid stepper. I've asked the same question in meetings about resentments and taking my own inventory and on and on. What I've been most often told is that for a rule it's true that we cause or set up our own resentments. But of course, I'm told, there are almost always exceptions to the rule. So, I'm admonished, shut up and sit down and let someone who really wants help speak.

    I use the steps as my HP leads me, and I take from the program what works for me. I'm told that's why it took me so long in AA (twenty-seven years) to get my first two-years of solid sobriety in. Maybe so, but I tried and tried to work the program just exactly like my sponsors did. I didn't always agree with them but I tried my ass off to "follow these simple suggestions" until I was so frustrated I used it for an excuse to drink. Oh shit! That reminds me, I haven't called my sponsor lately and I need to call him now. I'm afraid he'll get drunk if I'm not there for him to save me!
