Grateful for

Today I am grateful for getting out of bed. (Sometimes that is such a task in itself) I am grateful for being able to do my job. And I am grateful to have a place to come and express myself without being judged. Thank-you.

Hi, dhmdog! I'm glad you are here.

Today I am grateful I was able to use step 10, although I am only on step 1.

Hi dhmdog,

We're real all right, and we all understand what addiction does to a person, and no we don't judge, we try and help others with what we've learned. If you don't need this site, why are you here?

Step 10 is one of the 12 AA Steps Alcoholics Anonymous

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable.

2.
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3.
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4.
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5.
Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6.
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7.
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8.
Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10.
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.


Here's a link that will explain all of them to you in great depth to help better understand.
