When one lives life inside one’s head, caught up in our thoughts, our inner world and merging past and present as a consequence, one’s world view becomes very narrow and closed. Today becomes a replay of the past, maybe with variations, but for the most part the same. People who struggle with self-destructive urges and patterns are often in such pain and anguish, have such little faith, their emotions color and distort the truth about their power, their potential and abilities. If you are someone who is struggling, own your life, reclaim it, build it, join others moving in the same direction to restore sanity into their lives.
Solution Based Recovery promises that our lives will be transformed, but only if we willfully surrender to the discipline of the Twelve Steps. I had to get out of my own way – especially in the beginning. And even now, when I’ve been practicing for a while and can see the positive results, I must constantly remind myself that the only way to reap the benefits of the program is to continue to be willing, not willful. Instead of browbeating the entire world into submission, I must surrender myself to the spiritual discipline of the Twelve Steps and in doing so, I hope that I will learn to be the mature person I thought I was in the beginning.
