My relationship with the 12 steps recovery program: I tried and thought this is not for me, it was not working for me. However, everything change after I found a Higher Power or God so frequently mention in the program, I start to experience the promises when everything start to materialize and fall into place.
The 12 steps recovery program and the Bible was like a “Compass” for me. It gaves me a direction. Today I am a believer!
Do you know how disgusting, and terrible it can be when an addict become uprighteous?
When an addict feels that they are right, they will react strongly and defend their rights to their action, they will bulldoze and rundown everyone and everything down to prove they are right with their behaviors. In the past, I did the same thing and have hurt and harm many people with my actions.
Today, I learn that love and kindness come first, it is not important for me to be right in the eyes of everybody all the times anymore. I am not a runaway tornado that destroy everything in my path proving that I was right anymore.
I realize that I was only a part of something bigger than me, there is a power greater than me that is in charge of everything.
