FINDING CENTER WITH THE THIRD STEP

It took time to gain balance in AA. The way that I was dealing with my life was like a pendulum. Whether it was my alcohol or anything else in my life, I would do exactly what a pendulum did--I would start on one side and swing way to the other, full speed ahead. I was stark raving sober, crazy, crazy, crazy, but not drinking, and this is exactly what it means to be sober one day at a time.
