    Recovery without a step program

    Okay, I'll pray for you to the One True God. I sense a lot of anger and hate in your posts, which is exactly what God is not about. God is all about love. Have a great day my friend! :wave:

    Recovery without a step program

    Is English not your main language? Anyway, AA has helped many, many people. I'm slightly interested in its history, but my main focus on AA and its 12-step program is on my personal results, and helping others, thereby helping myself. Period. God bless and keep everyone in His mighty care!

    Recovery without a step program

    You said a mouthful, Autumnleaf, in my humble opinion. I have a friend who has been sober for many years, but he still always has to be making fun of someone, then laughs very loudly like "ooh, look how clever I am!" He's realizing his put-downs of others say a lot about him, and is figuring...

    Recovery without a step program

    Good job, rturner76, and God bless you. Always great to hear of a success story. Seems like there are too few who "keep coming back", it breaks my heart!

    The point of any 12-step program (IMHO)

    Yes, I believe Jesus did most of the work, I was just along for the ride! :thumbsup:

    The point of any 12-step program (IMHO)

    Several ways. I was forced to interact with other addicts, and to face my "demons" if you will, which forced me to learn humility and stop being so self-centered. I reluctantly became a leader and a sponsor, after first hating the program and deeply resenting my participation in it. I...

    The point of any 12-step program (IMHO)

    Sure. It had to do with my mother, who I just lost in April of 2014. She was a great lady, but she had been through a lot, losing a husband in WWII in France while she was back here waiting and praying. Then her 2nd husband and she had a child in 1950, my half-brother, and that husband...

    What song made an impact on your life?

    Beautiful by Mercyme. I kept thinking, "No I ain't! But if you really think so, God, okay!" I couldn't listen to that song for a long time without bursting out in tears, which isn't that cool for a 270-lb. guy.

    Re: Liberal, Conservative, and Christianity

    You almost make me want to find another future ex-wife! :idea:

    If you knew then what you know now...

    Get sober, go to meetings, get a sponsor, work the steps, concentrate on your Higher Power! Good question!

    Mature Singles singleness status

    I notice a lot of the ladies posting in this thread display rings next to their name (which indicates "married" if you hover over it with your mouse), yet they go on to say they're divorced, never married, etc. One lady even has "I love my husband Randy" there and says she's never been married...

    Do Christians have to follow any rules at all?

    You were a sinner once? When did you stop sinning? Can you walk on water too?

    Do Christians have to follow any rules at all?

    I live by one rule. Pray and think of Jesus often. Oops, maybe that's two rules. :thumbsup:

    Things That Make You Happy (5)

    Knowing my daughter is off on a Mission trip, spreading the Good News of Jesus! Knowing my son is cleaning up his act, he's come a long way! They both have. I don't deserve such blessings! My cup runneth over with joy and gratitude to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Almighty! :clap::clap::clap:

    What made you feel happy today?

    Smiles are contagious, don't you think? It sure seems hard to keep those smiles displayed around Christmas season though. ;)

    What made you feel happy today?

    My boss took it in stride, even though I goofed something up here at work. He still seems to think I'm awesome. Kinda like God. Not that I'm comparing my boss to God, but there is a touch of analogy there I think. :+)
