I was asked to lead a meeting earlier, a more Christian-oriented kind than your standard AA...I decided to select a topic that I tend to struggle with as opposed to one I know well: humility. Using Philippians 2:1-11 as a starting point, it's occurred to me that humility is one of our strongest weapons in the fight against addiction- isn't the first step to realize we don't have control? There is a certain tranquility that can be gained by handing the reigns of your life over to a Higher Power and taking things in stride- not to try to be a perfectionist and beat yourself down for each mistake you make. We are all broken people, and only by fulfilling our purpose- in whatever metaphysical capacity we select- can we be repaired. The humility it takes to even be on this app or in AA, to admit to that brokenness- it is the first step because it's the most intrinsic one to recovery.
Sorry for rambling about obvious things, just having leftover thoughts from the meeting.
