Conscious Contact: The Only Thing That Fills My Need

0

We’re all different, and I can’t tell anyone else’s story or anyone else’s truth, but I am blessed to come here and have a place to tell mine. This is my truth—the truth that it has taken me many years in recovery to finally believe: Conscious contact with God is the only thing that turns […]

What Part of Step One Don’t We Understand?

0

When it mentions “complete defeat” on page 21 of AA’s Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, it means complete. I’m tempted to ask, what part of “complete” don’t we understand? Complete means 100%. Not 98 or even 99 percent defeated. Complete defeat. Total, absolute—those are synonyms given in the dictionary for “complete.” Total, absolute defeat. Let’s […]

But Jeremiah lets us know that it’s okay to feel sorrow […]

Backing Away from God, Backing Away from Truth

0

When a person says they’re having a hard time connecting with God, I immediately know there is some truth in their life that they’re not ready to acknowledge.  There is something they’re shying away from, something they don’t want to process or embrace. When we connect with God, He exposes the truth. He lights up […]

Facing the Ugly Truth and Being Set Free

1

Lust is an ugly word. And the ugly reality is that I am a lustful person. Not for sex, mind you, but for many other things—a thinner body; a better past; a less challenging present; a fantasy future. Fattening foods. (Now that one really gets me in trouble when combined with the lust for a […]
