Resuming the Work

This evening I have decided to resume my work on the 12 steps of my program. I am still on Step 1 which is as follows: We admitted we were powerless over sex and love addiction - that our lives had
become unmanageable. I started this work a few months ago but quickly got distracted. This was during the process of listing all family members, including all great-grandparents, who struggled with addictions, mental illness, and other compulsions and difficulties. So this is where I am picking up from. However, I am not finished yet because I need to talk to my father to ask him about his family members. I feel as if making an effort to work on the Steps will help me feel even better than I already do.
In other news, my son and I went to church this morning and I am so thrilled that I did. The minister has been a good friend of my family for many years and he is one of the kindest most caring people I have ever met. His sermon couldn't have been more timely either: it was about relying on God and giving up control to Him. This is especially true when it comes to addictions. We plan on going every week now! I am so grateful and blessed.
