How Hashem is saving me with the 12 steps 01 Jul 2015 15:13 #258297

Good morning all holy brothers.

I wasn't here on the forum for the longest time.
In the mean time, I struggled with so many ups and downs, and so many Kabolos.

Thanks to Hashem, after the 3rd time of doing the 12 steps with a sponsor. I think that finally I got it. My mindset was that the war is on fighting lust, but the program taught me that I don't have to win a war. I just needed and yearned for piece, that can be achieved through living the 12 steps 1 day at the time, and then lust just disappears bezh"y.

Please comment if you also share my feelings, or have had a hard time with the steps.

Wishing all of us Hatzlacha in our holy Avodah.

Thanks serenity & cordnoy

I meant that the program wants me to just live with Hashem, and if I do that, then all the lusting just slips away.
