I had the privilege and pleasure of listening to some one's Step 5 tonight and the experience reminded me that it is not understanding but acceptance that we need; especially from ourselves. I have always intellectualised my problems and tried to work through my problems by trying to understand them.
That approach didn't work. It didn't acknowledge my powerlessness. I can not think my way through my problems, especially my addiction. My best thinking got me into any of my biggest problems. I realised that I needed to do life differently.
I discovered in program that in admitting my problems, I admit my powerlessness, leave room for my HP to show me the best way and gain an acceptance of self that has led to a miraculous life. For that I am grateful...
