Sunlight and Air

I came to Alcoholics Anonymous young in years but sick of soul and full of secrets. Now, in my middle age, I no longer harbor secrets, and my soul is in better health than ever. It's freer, more generous, and able as it never was in my drinking days to receive love and joy and wonder as well as the darker emotions. While all of AA's twelve suggested Steps are crucial to my ongoing recovery, the Fifth Step more than any other has helped me get free of those soul-crippling secrets.
