Wow, it has been almost a year since I shared on my blog. I was so excited when I started it and was sure that I would stick to it. Blogs look so easy and fun. The truth is they take work and effort. This addict has never been a fan of work or effort! Add the demands of life on to my laziness and this blog went by the wayside quickly.
I started this blog to awaken my passion for 12 step work ... and it did. Now, a year later, I am a bit exhausted by 12 step work. Yes, rigorous work with another addict has helped me stay clean, but it has also at time sucked the life out of me! Now I realize that I cannot be Super Woman of Recovery. I'm looking for a balance. This balance is not only for me, but it is also for a prospect that I am working with. The biggest lesson I have learned this year is to get out of God's way. If I am busy saving the addict I may be preventing that addict from getting their opportunity to rely on God.
