In ten years, I have deepened my understanding of the 12 steps of Recovery. There are moments when I wonder if they are feeding my appetite to strengthen my mental wellness. From time to time, I ask myself, “How do we know if God (higher power) is walking with us?”
One lesson we are taught in Recovery is that the steps assure unconditional love and a guiding presence in our lives. Recovery reminds us that God is indeed close to us, particularly in the steps. They are expressions of his love, a sure sign we are never alone.
When I was experiencing a very dark period in my life, I asked my therapist, “Where was Jesus when I was being physically abused?”
Her answer to me was, “He was next to you, weeping with you.”
We know suffering is part of the human experience. We are never alone. We can call him on our cell phone (God speaks through people). We can find comfort in this fact.
