Alcoholics and Addicts need the 12 Steps on a daily basis for the rest of their natural lives, this is the great fact – this is reality. One hears a terrible amount of opinions on this issue, but the evidence is there for everyone to see. Statements like - 'I need to feel things'
'Put yourself first when it comes to Step 8' , 'Be good to yourself' , 'Wait two years to do the Steps' do nobody any good. God is always kind but tough on us and we need to take the same attitude when it comes to our own sobriety. There is a Fellowship book somewhere(an instructions manual so to speak). Like all such books, it has a tendency to be far more accurate than any addict or alcoholic sitting in the seat next to you. Even if one doesn't agree to all the principles of it - one must admit that it is, in essence, the only real shot at peace that one has left. Alcohol and Addictions are, by their very nature, killers. Self-delusion and dishonesty are its main forms of food. It likes a bit of defiance and resentment for starters, then it works on a bit of pride and anger - and finally, after layers of misery, it washes you down with A HIT. Be honest. Do the program - do it the hard way, the only way. And get it out of the way so you can have an amazing life.
