Dear Vera and Lizbeth
Thank you for walking with me during this tricky period. Your presence and support helps.
I am glad to know that regardless of what is happening, I do not need to gamble and drink.
I have been practicing the following steps in my life daily and it is making a difference:
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
This step requires self-examination that can be uncomfortable, but honesty is essential in this process.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
This step involves a commitment to monitor yourself for any behaviors that may be detrimental to yourself or others and to admit when you are wrong.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to another suffering addict, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
