The more I learn about step one, the more afraid I am. I've done something terrible to a man I love very much. He's a recovering alcoholic and I'm massively codependent (so I'm discovering).

I've utilized several means of doing a fouth step. To get started 14 years ago when I came in I used the Blue prints for progress (Copyright 1976, bought in 1992).
