"It was the hardest two years of my life," a woman said. "So many painful, unexpected events happened. I felt so abandoned, so lost. I didn't understand what was happening, and I felt tortured by God and life. I didn't think it would ever end. But it did. Now I can look back on that time and say, Wow. Look at all I learned. There's nothing that life can bring my way that I can't handle and get through."

She learned self-confidence. But whether she's conscious of it or not, this woman is beginning to learn the value of trusting the process.


Sometimes we don't know what we're learning, or whether we're learning anything at all. It's easy to look back on a situation once it has worked itself out and be in awe of the process and all that we learned.

The time we most need to trust the journey is when it looks like we can't.

The one thing and perhaps the hardest thing to do when life is not going well is to believe in yourself.
If you can believe in yourself and not what other people say about "your" life, including family and friends who want you to stay the same as always and live like they have always done in a comfortable zone of familiarity then you are destined to change and succeed in your own way.

That's all very well if it is something you can recover from, 12 steps or not, but what happens to that theory when yo are not going to recover, but get worse and suffer more........

Some lesson that huh?
