Time is a dressmaker specializing in alterations. --Faith Baldwin
We are learning as we go, and the experiences shed light on our own plans for proceeding. The steps we are taking in unison as well as on separate but parallel paths enhance the particular movements of us all.
We often expect perfection from ourselves, forgetting that we're all beginners in life. The best we can do is willingly acknowledge our errors, grateful that we can always begin again on any task - grateful that we have the experiences of others to help guide us.
Life is process. We learn, we grow, share burdens, reformulate ideas, and restructure our values. Every change we make alters the steps we take, altering in turn someone else's movements, too.

GoofyMan is a Moron but his/her post about the existence of Trolls was useful. :) As a result someone posted an outline for doing steps. If you feel up to it we could use that outline to get started with Step One.
So...

Yes You and how do you know that you are an Alcoholic.
There are many in AA who say they are Alcoholic but don't really know.
They BullShit their way in and hide behind Tradition Three.
And there are those who masquerade as an AA group to use Tradition Seven and siphon donations from unsuspecting drunks.

Thank you, Pappy, for sharing your experiences with me and guiding me. For that, I am very grateful. And I am sure I am certainly only one of the many you have generously given your experience, strength and hope to help throughout your sobriety time.
