Well, I can tell you from experience that doing my 4th step was the most FREEIING experience of my life!! After I did my first 4th step, I felt like I'd gotten rid of the world off my shoulders! Like you, I'd carried around alot of "stuff" for years and years ~ and I finally got rid of it!! Never again did I have to worry about that. I was finally FREE!! Your doctor advises against it because he/she doesn't understand it. Go ahead and do it - it will do you a world of good! You won't believe how wonderful you'll feel afterwards.

I now understand myself better too - I've come to "know' myself better. They knew what they were doing when they wrote the steps. Best of luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee
