The ONE THING that I NEED to
work on the most is... my continued recovery.
In the last few years of my addiction I did not deny that I had a
problem, nor did I deny that I needed help. I just refused to accept
that I was powerless over my addiction, and could not do it all on my
own. I, like others, participated in the rounds in "recovery" only to
relapse a few days after release, and then to repeat the process over
and over again. And I am sure that just like most people I was raised
to take care of things on my own, and not be "weak" or ask for help
unless it was absolutely necessary.
It wasn't until I did ask for help, and HONESTLY completed steps one
through three that I finally began my REAL recovery. And by the gracew
of My Higher Power I have made it past my first year now, and I feel
great, and proud. But I am not so niave to think for one second that I
do not have to still work on my recovery on a daily basis, and just as
hard as the day before, that is what I need to do.
