I remember early in recovery I had fought the idea of dependence on a Higher Power. I thought I was self-sufficient and I could do anything if I worked hard enough at it. I wasn’t powerless or had an unmanageable life. I surely didn’t need something greater than myself to stay sober even though using almost killed me. I fought all the things we learn in the program until I hit a spiritual bottom and needed to get honest with myself. I had to face the truth. I had to admit that I desperately needed help. Asking for help is something that just doesn’t come naturally to me so I knew I was in a really bad place. I did find help and got busy working the steps of the program. While I worked the steps, I found a Higher Power and began my spiritual journey.
