We came, we came to and we came to believe

As we engage in treatment and come to meetings, we see if we can relate to the experiences, feelings and behaviors of recovering people. This helps us internalize that we have the disease of addiction. We also see if being clean and sober improves our lives. We also see if the 12 step recovery process improves our lives. We gradually awaken and heal. This healing process gives us belief in the 12 steps and treatment even if we doubted it would work at the beginning. The healing is not always easy, but it is always positive change.

TODO: If you are new, or if you have been avoiding consistent meeting attendance and the practice of the 12 steps, try opening your mind, being honest with yourself and become willing to heal. Show up at recovery meetings with this attitude and you will find that recovery works to better your life.
