Clarification

Hi, I just want to clarify something from the previous post about “doing what’s right and Doing what’s right in front of you”. This is perhaps one of the greatest pieces of life skill you can master. However to master this, will not come overnight. However this is not the point of this post. It would seem that for some reason addicts/alcoholics come into this fellowship and whether they get into the program or not, they hear some of these tools. Then they start to apply them and then some problem or issue comes up and they start berating the program and/or the fellowship. They start saying things like “this stuff doesn’t work” or it’s a scam or a cult. They say these things out of frustration and/or anger. For some strange reason they had believed that when they came in and started to apply these tools and way of life, that everything that people were saying about how their life would get better and they’d have a life that they’d never imagined, would magically start happening immediately. The cold hard facts are- it takes time to change the course your life has been on for, how long? Year’s decades. Turning this around is not going to happen overnight. It takes hard work, self examination, changing the way you act, speak, react your thinking patterns. It is definitely not going to suddenly make your life like a fairy tale and you go off and “Happily ever after”. Shit still happens, by the way shit happens is totally wrong,. The real term is Life Happens. These tools and way of life will eliminate some of the predicaments that your previous lifestyle created. They will also keep you from making “mountains out of mole hills”. They will also keep you from making an issue or life problem 10 to 100 times worse. This is an inside job. Only you can make your life better, all we can do is show you what we had to do, learn. And point you to the path we took. We can hold your hand, listen, and share however you must do your own work to get the rewards.
Remember God does not make garbage
