Step Four Blues
Having discovered all your faults, you are depressed.
Imagine you have just found a doctor with a diagnosis that explains all your afflictions over the past many years. And he’s written a prescription directing you on a sure path to good health.
Shouldn’t you jump with joy and relief?

I feel that AA meetings for me, and this is not stressed too much imo, are a party.
A group of people are celebrating their sobriety.
Yes there is discussions often of difficulties.
Some people do mention at the end of a share their happiness with sobriety but not a majority.
Many experience the difficulty of not being able to drink, almost as if, they hope, one day, they can go back to it, only this time, measured, controlled.
They can be sober for over 10 years and feel this way.
I must admit I have these thoughts too, but I gain comfort in being in AA meetings.
In a way, being an AA member is being different than everyone else in society, except for the non-drinkers which are quite a few. People who never took a drink in the first place.
THe media puts this image out that cold beer ice cold beer goes with fun.
We don't need to buy this garbage.
