Our Own Understanding

[roverl0616]

Running into the whole god thing again when we start our recovery can be a real deal breaker for lots of us but it doesn't have to be. Some knew god would be mentioned in recovery the rest of us find out after getting here. This is the pivotal point in us getting to recover, we can either go on with what we know doesn't work, or try something different. We try using our own understanding of God, that is what is different about recovery. Instead of trying holding on to whatever understanding we had brought with us into recovery we are allowed to use our own understanding. Doing this allows for us to start to get beyond all the misconceptions and manipulations of God that are harming us and are getting in the way of us being able to get recovery. When we all come to this world we all have a loving spirit that comes with us, and it is intended to care for us and protect us. Recovery will show us how we can once again get to know this, and if there was ever a time in our life that we needed to know this, it's now.
