. . . but after each 12-Step meeting, mentoring session, and confidential conversation I discovered personal growth was possible because of the Steps I took.
First, I had to become willing to —
- admit
- to believe
- make a decision
- search within
- confess harmful behavior
- be entirely ready
- and humble
- to make amends
- without injuring others
- admit my wrongdoings
- pray, meditate, and act
- despite my shortcomings – because of a spiritual awakening – I will carry the message to others!
Give freely and spontaneously. Don’t have a stingy heart. The way you handle matters like this triggers God, your God’s, blessing in everything you do, all your work and ventures . . . (Deuteronomy 15:11 MSG).
