Since 1935 millions of people have had success in changing their life for the better by practicing the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in their life on a daily basis.

Some people at the same time have spent thousands of dollars on therapy sessions without getting any results, the most a good competent therapist can do is encourage a client to go to AA.

What’s the reason behind this success? It’s probably rooted in the spiritual rather than anything physical. In order to change destructive behaviors people need to go through a “psychic change” which is accomplished by having a sponsor, taking advice, and incorporating the steps into daily living.

Two days ago I had such an experience, I felt “stuck” for the last few months in my recovery, but I didn’t know what I needed to do, or how to proceed, when I spoke to my sponsor about it a month ago, he told me to talk to God and pray about it, I did a couple of time, but I didn’t get the answer at the time. Two days ago out of nowhere I got this crazy crystal clear awareness of where I am standing, and exactly what I need to do to grow and proceed in my recovery, its something I didn’t want to do and have been trying to avoid, but after getting the awareness and discussing it with friends in recovery I am ready to do it.

Actually I am happy and psyched up to do it!

Happy recovery

Step One “We admitted that we were powerless over … — that our lives had become unmanageable.”

If we don’t admit that we have a problem, how are we planning to ever change our situation? Admission of a problem is half the solution!

When we realize how sick and defenseless we are at least in one area of our life, we can become ready for the work necessary to accept the help we need.

Choice A) A New way of Living.
Choice B) Death emotionally, spiritually, and even physically.

Think about it, what would you choose?

Hmm. Not even a question! Of course life.

So the question becomes why do addicts keep on choosing death instead of life?

Is it because we don’t think? Or is it because the way the world, and our disease protrays the choice of that to us?

Whatever the reason might be, it seems simple that thinking about our choices and honestly answer ourselves if we want to choose life or death will bring us to a better place.

What?

What is Step Zero?

Step Zero is participating in the fellowship, calling people talking to people before and after meetings, going out with people one on one. It’s building up the network in order to be able to stay sober and get out of isolation which is driving us back to the addiction.

We cannot stay sober alone, and we cannot progress in our recoveries by ourselves and that’s why we need other people.

Addiction is a disease of Spiritual Deficiency our spirituality is deficiant and lacking and we feel sick, of course we have all tried to fill it up with the wrong things to fill that deficiency, some of us have tried alcohol, sex, drugs, food, gambling, internet gaming. It doesn’t really matter what we tried, whatever we tried we were looking to fill up that “void”, and nothing can fill that up until we fill it with the nutrients that were missing.

What we are really looking for is that spirituality, that can make us feel so much better than whatever else we tried, and that really works because just as in a physical illness the solution is always to give the body the nutrient that is lacking, the same is true for our soul sickness we need to feed it the nutrients it’s missing and that is Spirituality.
