I did a 5th step with the sponsee that I've had since I was 6 months sober. She's been relapsing the whole time - now has 3 months and experienced the 5th step the way it was meant to be (I felt it anyway). It went really well and I almost heard audible clicks : )
I do hope that God has chosen this to be her time... if not... well... I stayed sober, and it was just what I needed in my life today. Kind of ironic that my other sponsee who I've been working with for several months also wanted to do her 5th step this afternoon. I wonder what the lesson for me in that was??? Of all the days we've been working together - how did they both fall ready on the same day??? Felt weird to be 'already booked for a 5th step' when one asked after the other! LOL
Maybe because I'm singing in a wedding held at the Pabst blue ribbon brewery in Milwaukee this weekend???? HP has me extra protected on both sides of it? I didn't know I needed that extra cushioning and love - but then again - what do I know???
With love,
Tasha

My 5th step was very powerful - the sense of release was just as described in the Big Book. Here's praying for you and your sponsees. Well-done!
