I’ll try to give it a read through. My ADD brain may have a hard time reading through the whole thing, but I’ll do my best!

This process included rejecting 12-step teachings that I held onto. For example, step 1, powerlessness. While coming to God, instead of having Him zapping me back into sanity. He guided me to a method that ultimately led me to recanting step 1.

By the way, I’m not rejecting the 12 steps as good method for recovery. A lot of people have benefited from them. And they would still be the first resource I would refer to if someone is struggling and looking for help and support. I would never talk bad about the 12 steps. My time in the 12 step groups was a good one and I believe I got a lot of great benefits from that experience.

I’ve been there as well. I went through a 12 step program a couple times. It was beneficial, but I see it as another tool, not the solution.

But I look at all of my recovery journey throughout the decades; the good, the bad, the relapses. And since God used all of those relapses to steer me into the best path for me, I look at them with gratitude. For without them, I cannot imagine myself being led to such a great state of freedom.

Relapse is not part of recovery?

Not always true. Because it certainly has been for mine.

@Butterflymoonwoman, my hope is that you feel encouraged to keep up the good work.

I absolutely do feel encouraged. I’m done yet and God isn’t done with me yet either! Ur absolutely right… I learned alot from this relapse. I wish it hadn’t happened but I DO feel like I’ve learned alot honestly (probably the most I’ve learned from any relapse so far). Thank you Kevin!! Ur an amazing person full of so much insight. I really appreciate you
