I am going to quote someone, this is so neccessary for us to understand and do and I feel I am sitting on my laurels and need to get busy again on the steps, asking Tahir if he will sponsor me on this journey?
HEres what I read this morning:
God removes the compulsion to use/addictive behaviours, not the steps. The steps are merely a tool for opening my heart and mind to God, clearing away all the crap that is blocking me from God.
I appreciate these messages so much, searching relief from compulsion, so new to recovery. Thank you, I'm glad I checked the board in my sleeplessness and read this post, exactly what I needed to hear. Blessings BigV, have a great weekend! Love and hugs, j

BigV, it is always a privilege for anyone in NA, and that includes me too, to walk the path of recovery with another...
I will PM you in more detail, my friend.
Grateful to my Higher Power that I have you in my recovery.
Hugs, Love, Light ~ Tahir.

Thankyou both . Jenny it is the obsession that ends up keeping alot of us from sobirety and sometimes bringing us back down, it's very important to get this obsession part because it's not just the drug use aspect of our lives it has power over but our living problems too after we get clean, some of these things are still there they were and are in me still.
Certain things we have to keep in mind how this all works for us. I feel so much growth since joining this group it's helped me hurdle some very difficult situations in my life and got me looking more closely at the steps and doing more, now it's been awhile since i've done much work and I need to go foreward so when you can Tahir gimme a jingle .
Sure I will, BigV. It's time I did some serious stepwork too

Thank you so much Peggy. So sweet of you to express that. But to put it all in proper perspective, I think we guys here are glad that we have you here at MIP. Your regular presence here already shows an impact on many new women members who have started visiting our group and the chatroom lately. Now they can all have as much identification here as they need because of the presence of people like you, Sandra, Michelle, Sheryl, Barbara, Bunny, Jenny, Trisha et all...
Most of all, your enthusiasm and also from BigV, Dalin, Lon, Raman and all the guys has been a great inspiration for me too, whenever I felt down and out and not upto it... When I read posts from you and the others here at MIP, it reignites my hunger and passion for the program and recovery.
Grateful that I have you in my recovery.
Hugs, Love, Light ~ Tahir.
