You Have A Purpose

[MajestyJo]

When I came into recovery, it was stop the world I want to get off. AA gave me purpose. My primary purpose purpose is to carry the message to the alcoholic/addict who still suffers.

Some people may think that they don't qualify because they don't drink alcohol or never did street drugs, but there are other addictions that can lead to the same soul sickness. i.e. food, gambling, work, computers, religion, sex, codependency, and so many more. I was told by my sponsor, anything that took over my thinking that became obsessive/compulsive and stood between me and who my God would have me be in today, was an addiction, and something I needed to turn over to Him.

It has been my experience, that all things can be turned over to Him, that includes my pain and my arthritis. The 12 Step program applies to all areas of my life. Addiction is a mental, emotional, spiritual and physical disease.
