Although I am espousing the enormous and positive impact of Spirituality, our Higher Power truly is an incredibly personal part of Recovery. And who am I to define Higher Power to anyone but myself? What I can say is embracing one's Higher Power can be a daunting process. We are often ingrained with preconceived notions of spirituality, spurring questions of, 'is God all powerful, all seeing, to be feared, to be worshipped?'. In my own h...

A walk with my friend this past weekend helped me realize how hard work through therapy and the 12 Step program has directly contributed to decreased Chaos in my life.
