12 Steps to No Where!

12 Steps. That is all I had to do. It sounded so simple. Yet simple doesnt mean easy. It was hard work that I dove into. Having completed the step work I am much healthier and happier than I could remember ever being. My sponsor has had a similar result. So has his sponsor. I go to meetings now and I keep in mind what others have said many times. Do you want what others have when it comes to sobriety? I choose to hange around and learn from those that have what I want. In doing so some day I hope someone will come to me and say "you have what I want," "Will you be my sponsor." Then, will I feel that I have taken the first step with my next set of 12!
