"If you're going bake a German chocolate cake, you need to follow
the recipe." - David J.
WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE SUGGESTIONS:This admission I am about to make might help you understand me
better. I never liked using instructions. I would start putting
the item together simply by eyesight. Most times, I would have
screws and bolts left over, and it looked different from the
picture on the package. I then would pick up the instructions to
see where I went wrong. I started my recovery with this same
approach. It was missing pieces, and I felt empty inside. I was
given a few simple suggestions by other addicts. Get a home
group. Show up early. Get phone numbers and call people. Read
literature and learn about recovery. They gave me a sponsorship
pamphlet. I was told to get a sponsor. The sponsor would guide me
through the 12 steps. Once the pain of doing it my way became
unbearable, I followed those simple suggestions.
"Some will never learn anything because they understand
everything too soon." - Thomas Blount
