Every step we take leads us closer to our destiny. Our destiny is not always what we want it to be. It is what God's knows will really make us happy in the long run. Sometimes, the steps forward go in circles, but then one day the circle becomes a spiral staircase that leads us upward to our true destiny. When we are willful and go in our own direction, and make mistakes, God makes the best of it. My obsession with romantic love became my first published book, Addiction to Love.Do we ever stop moving forward? No. There is no graduation and sometimes we don't even reach a plateau. But God will always provide a resting place. See my book, Where Love Abides.
Recovery is easier if we follow God's lead. But even if we don't God eventually gets us to where we are going. He can be very persuasive especially after we hit our "bottom" in recovery. What tools help us? Literature, spirituality, peer support. What is the most important thing about change. That we do it. How do we surrender? We make a decision and then a commitment. Then we act on it one day at a time. Is all this worth it? Yes. Can we go at our own pace? Sometimes. Sometimes not. Are we on our own? No, "Invisible hands will come to our aid." Joseph Campbell Are we alone? No. We meet others on the "road of happy destiny." (A.A.) When will we reach our "happy destiny." Never because we are already on it. Recovery is our destiny.
