Thank you so much. I hope more “non-addicts” (although don’t we all have our coping mechanisms that keep us from truth and from God?) will hear the stories and be moved to look into the 12 steps. Truly there is nothing like them. I’ve spent a lifetime learning about human behavior, self-help, therapy, etc. All of those things are good, but God moves in 12 steps in ways I can’t even describe. I think of a friend, for example, who struggled with an addiction for decades and in 30 days of a 12-step program (not the LDS one, but one specific to her addiction), she was a different person. I’ve seen this kind of change happen in many people’s lives. Of course, the process of conversion and change and healing extends beyond such shifts, but the shifts are real.

Thank you for courageously sharing your story. I just realized tonight that the videos are available on YouTube so I am looking forward to hearing your story…I am glad I don’t need to wait until the 9th!

~Michelle

My story is Step 9 in this series (September 9th) … more importantly though is your experience utilizing the Steps in your life as you have sought answers to challenges. The observations that you noted are so HUGE. Obviously recovery has changed my life through abstinence, becoming spiritually aware and reborn. My comments are motivated by the fact that so many (non-addicts, regular people) could be touched by the powers of the Steps. Success my friend, John
