A forest is mystery but the desert is truth. Life pared to the bone.
I learned that the purpose of the Twelve Steps is to do the will of God.
A lot of us have jobs where we need to give people structure but that is different from controlling.
I grew up and I became very successful at what I did as a young man. I became a work addict because this was the only way I could get any relief from this pain.
My only hope to receive love is to let you see who I am, then I may believe you.
Religious work is one of the best ways to keep from facing your reality if you are Christian, if you are using it to calm the pain, because that it what all addictions are, attempts to cover the pain of this spiritual disease
