Get a sponsor and start WORKING the Steps as though your life depended on it, because it does.  The Big Book is nothing more than a basic text in which you'll find a set of swing-set instructions.  Part A goes into Part B, Part B into Part C, and so on.  In the end you'll have a swing-set with which you can get in the swing and SWING.  Don't go down to the gym just to intellectualize and discuss what each machine and weight does, ACTUALLY pick up the weights, with guidance, and start lifting.  The EXPERIENCE of the experience is light years more important than the discussion of the experience.  Thinking brings about only one thing, more thinking.  ACTION brings about change.  You have a window of opportunity that will close shortly once the spiritual malady takes you back to the mental obsession about the drink.  Once that rebuilds you are without defense and it's back to the stupid races.  DO NOT TAKE YOUR TIME!  Get busy and just do it!
