can you tell me where in the basic text it says you WILL relapse if you dont work it. The reason I ask is because neither aa or na claim to be the ONLY way.but if what you say is correct then they ARE saying that,obviously bacause only they use the steps

Take it easy, pray before writing, remember to try and look for the fear behind your character defects and most importantly remember that you aren't unique, nor as good or bad as you might suspect.
Good luck, i'm proud of you!

Hey there.    Take your time with this step!!!  This is the hardest step to work.
It was for me anyway.    This is where you'll get all the baggage out in the open with your sponser(and i hope you have chosen a good one)and you will find  things about yourself that you've never really realized, this will be the good, and the bad, so take your time and pray about it.

It took me a loooooong time,  and you will find yourself needing to do this more than once.  Maybe the rest of your life.

You should realize that you are an inspiration to a lot of people....esp, me. Even though you have slipped, you just keep on fighting and for that, you need to be proud!!! I know this is hard on you and your family but they sound like they are a very strong support system for you and your wife doesn't pull any punches when you slip, she is a strong and smart lady!  You are fighting with everything you have and I know that you will be successful!
Peace,
Marcie:)
