8 days sober:
Step 1: Admit I am powerless over lust - my life has become unmanageable.
Last night I listened to something that has been sticking in my mind all day...I have thought a lot about it! One of my church leaders once said that in all his struggles with cancer, the one lesson that he learned was this:
It is more important to not shrink than it is to survive.
As I applied this to my life and thought about how I sometimes go through each day just trying to survive. Am I supposed to not shrink from my addiction or am I supposed to not shrink from the road to recovery? Up to this point I have been pretty stagnant in my year of being in the SA program. I haven't done my First Step Inventory and I barely call people at all. I have been surviving.
I am NOT going to shrink! I am going to step up to the plate and start working this program! That is my promise! I may not be perfect at it, but here goes!
This is my check in, and I pray for another 24 hours of RECOVERY! Not just sobriety!
-Grateful and Hopeful
