September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month… Check our theme day out tomorrow at b5media H&W channel

Check in tomorrow here at the health and wellness channel. We as a group are posting on the 12 steps to recovery from addiction as September is National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month- thank you Alicia. Liz and Liberty at Healthbolt will be hosting the entire roundup of posts.

Here are the 12 steps in case you were not familiar with them… I will be taking on number 5 and 7. Please check us out tomorrow!

• Step 1 – We admitted we were powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable
• Step 2 – Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity
• Step 3 – Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him
  
• Step 4 – Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves
• Step 5 – Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs
• Step 6 – Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character
• Step 7 – Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings
• Step 8 – Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all
• Step 9 – Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others
• Step 10 – Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it
• Step 11 – Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out
• Step 12 – Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs
