When All Else Fails

[MajestyJo]

So often we say no to recovery, because we aren't willing to do what it takes to stay sober.

So many went to mental institutions, recovery program (which helped me start but when I left, the work just began), a religious zealot no matter what faith you have and what you believe.

I tried my way for 8 years, I could stop but couldn't stay stopped. It was only when I found the spiritual aspect of the 12 Step programs that I was able to stay sober, one day at a time. I often tell people, I don't want to know who God is, because I might stop looking for Him/Her. God is as He reveals Himself in today.

When all else fails, I need to get out of the way and allow my God to work through me, instead of around me.
