I knew when I came to Naranon that my life had become unmanagable...I was sane enough to recognize that it was insane. But the only way that I could truly admit that I was powerless, was to believe in a power greater than me. I think I needed Step 2 to fully embrace Step 1A (powerlessness) I could not let go unless I could place my trust in someone or something that would never let go.
Although I never doubted the presence of a higher power, I never had a close relationship with my HP until recovery. Sometimes I haven't recognized his presence at the time, but looking back, I see how many times he was right there. It makes me think of the footprints poem...He carried me when I could not walk myself.
Thanks for doing this Cat!!:day4
