It said I needed to make a fearless &amp; moral inventory of myself. First of all, at this time in my life &amp; after all I&#39;d seen &amp; gone through, I was anything but fearless. I truly did not understand how I was supposed to admit who I was &amp; what I did without fear. The majority of that junk was so awful &amp; I had yet to find even one human being that I trusted to confess it to. It alone seemed impossible and it was only half of what needed to be done. Then, I was asked to create a document that was fair, honest, &amp; detailed about my past. Quite overwhelming. I acquired a sponsor who helped me through this process. The patterns that were uncovered during this process showed me how to begin to change my future in ways I could be proud of. MOST IMPORTANTLY: I learned about trusting God&#39;s guidance in my life. I&#39;m working onThe 4th Step again with TCF&#39;s Women&#39;s Step Study. Join us.

I am struggling in the area of forgiveness. I do not want to come to the lord to fix my mistakes. It just didn&#39;t seem fair that I ruined my life with drugs and bad choices and I could just be forgiven that easily. <br /><br />I&#39;ve been off drugs for almost a year. I have rebuilt relationships with my family and friends and now I am working to build my relationship with God. <br /><br />If you have time to read about my story, please visit http://www.runningfromaddiction.comrunningfromaddictionhttp://runningfromaddiction.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5234647823944201790.post-47194236141089685622009-05-02T14:43:00.000-07:002009-05-02T14:43:00.000-07:00Wow, Great explaination of denial, and steps, this is so huge!
