I love the program of AA. I learn everyday something about life, living and serenity rather it be challenges or blessings. Something I have realized in my fourth step is I am not the person I thought I was. Incomprehensible demoralization ruled my life and self perception until doing my forth step. What hit me during this process was that most of myself was a person created on false perceptions of reality. I am free from the bondage of a life based on a self that was based on a lie. I love that I get to work now on being my self and redefining who I am and how I want to be perceived. 

I feel so blessed that I am a member of AA. Where else could I find a group of people who base there life on spirituality not dogma regardless of religious affiliation? 

I missed this board and just thought I would share. I have heard in meetings over and over "the fourth step showed me who I was". I get to say "the fourth step showed me who I am not". If I were this person then it would be normal and I wouldn't put it in my fourth step because it would bring about no ill feelings or thoughts. 

I hope everyone is well. I'm off Facebook and back on the board but that is an addiction for other meetings.
