Writings of Recovery

The greatest gift of recovery has been the loss of the weight of the world on my shoulders.

I used to feel like just existing was wrong.

That all of my perspectives or opinions were wrong.

I was consumed with a guilt I could not name…

…and I had a lifetime of resentments and fears layered on top of each other.

Willingness was the key that opened the door to recovery.

To enter the 12 step room.
To stay and listen.
To seek a sponsor.
To work the 12 steps.
To surrender denial, control, fear, shame, guilt, and self sabotage to my Higher Power.

I pray for more willingness for today, and every day.
