Hi All,
Here is a link to the PDF with the marked up Bill's story that I finished this morning. This is the way I can read Bill's story today, looking at what is going on with me right now, even if I have been in recovery for a long time and my new progression is more subtle. If you are new and fighting a primary addiction for the first time, or have found a new primary addiction that is kicking you hard, even though you have recovered from something else, these considerations should apply to what is going on with you as well.

There is nothing pleasant about the first step, and many of us are well into that space now. Please be reaching out to people to discuss your experiences and get support, and please feel free to join us in the MWF meetings for support.

#^https://us04web.zoom.us/j/550885842 These experiences happen to people at different times and in different phases, if you are hearing people having experiences that are not happening to you yet, do not worry about that, keep digging into what is going on with you. It is okay to be wherever you are.
If you are feeling overwhelmed and like the foundation of your reality is being shaken, that is also okay, that happens in this process to many of us.
If you haven't done any of this yet, and you are not even sure what I am talking about, you are not alone. Feel free to jump in and join us!
