ME TOO Anna!!!
And I am a 12 step thumper
. He is sober, he is happy, he is living his life as a productive member of society. He finds he spirituality, serenity, whatever you want to call it in a different way than I do..that is fine with me.
To me the most important thing is that he is sober, he is not hurting himself or the people that love him anymore.
I have not finished the book yet and even though I know what happens I still want to read it. In it, even though it is written very descriptive, I feel hope, hope for the addict who still suffers.
My H is hardcore 12 step and while he has not been as harsh on this guy in our discussions as some here have been he to feels that his sobriety won't last without a belief in God. That is my H's opinion and he is entitlted to it just as James in entitled to find sobriety/happiness/freedom/peace/love any way he chooses to.
I say YOU GO JAMES!!!! and thank you for sharing your story/sobriety with me!!! We basically are all on the same journey, the paths may be differnt but the journey is the same. And Blessings to everyone on this journey!
