Will I Open the Door to the Truth?

WHEN I first came into AA looking for help, after I'd been around about a month my sponsor suggested that I take the Fifth Step. The suggestion annoyed me. Of all the Steps, the fifth appealed to me least. So I told myself, "I'm doing okay with the other Steps, I'll get to the fifth--eventually." Two months later "eventually" had still not come, and I slipped. I did not plan to drink; I did not want to drink; I did not believe I would drink; but I drank. Fortunately I bounced right back to AA. I reluctantly took the Fifth Step, and by the grace of God I have been sober ever since.
