Holy Cow, He Just Might Be Onto Something Here!

So, yesterday, my brother sat me down and did his 3rd (or 4th?) AA step with me. Wow. I learned things about my brother I never knew. He really is a poor bastard. He took full responsibility for all of his wrongs, lies, deceitfulness, and I must say that I am incredibly proud!

When my brother is sober, he is the greatest guy in the world. In the past, when he has approached this step, he has turned to drinking. Now, he has almost finished this step with his whole family. He cried and shook throught the first half hour. It was an amazingly profound experience. It was a gift to receive such honesty- I don't know if I have ever been so honest with anyone in my life. He told me his whole life story, including everytime he hurt another person. Would you or I be ready to do this today? I am so supportive of him facing his battles, and I made a promise to actively support him...beyond the lipservice. I am supposed to meet him at the gym about noon. How cool is he!?!?!
