A new spiritual family in recovery

  I always heard in meetings people say change only Happens when you were doing steps. Sure enough when I begin doing the steps change began to happen and it was while I was doing the steps. The steps themselves are a set of principles, and as I went Through the steps, I would apply particular principles in every day life while doing those specific steps You would see periodic lists that have principles behind each step and those are great, but it’s interesting to me that I find reflecting on the principles that I used to draw strength off of to do the steps.

A little bit about recovery sounds to good to be true. As I started coming to meetings and just listening, I was pleasantly surprised And how important it was for these people to come together to discuss their common problem alcoholism. to have a person or a group of people who understand what I’m going through, who have gone through the same thing same troubles, the same nightmares to be there and willing to take time just to talk with me to let me know that there is A way out of the troubles I’ve been causing myself They’re not throwing their wisdom and knowledge around. They’re just sharing their experience strength and hope and they’re just trying to be there because they know how terrible this disease is and that it wants to kill us. they know: Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care
