Thank you for this post. It was this message along with a couple of others that convinced me to join a couple minutes ago. There seems to be some quality sobriety in here.
I'm three years, three months sober, but still struggle with Step 3, the letting go step. One of my friends in the Program, knowing I sometimes do battle with this step, gave me a "Let it Go" bracelet a couple of years ago. I haven't taken it off since, but could stand to look at it more often -- particularly at work. Thanks again.
