The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

As with many other members of AA whom I have heard since their experience with the Fourth Step, I wanted to do it very early in my sobriety. With my copy of the "Twelve and Twelve," I attempted to write two lists, my good points on one, my bad points on the other. After three or four days and nights of work and many torn pages, I had a very large bad list and one extremely small good list.
