Kurt says he had faith - but his faith was in a fear based system.\\xa0 After nineteen years, he relapsed and he now has eleven years of knowing this thing has taken him to places he would have never gotten.
"The genius of 12 step spirituality isn't that it teaches you to surrender but that it exhausts you in the effort of surrendering so you last surrender surrendering and find yourself surrendered... and that's How it Works." -- Kurt Z.
GUIDANCE
. . . this means a belief in a Creator who is all power, justice, and love; a God who intends for me a purpose, a meaning, and a destiny to grow, however . . . haltingly, toward His own likeness and image.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 51
As I began to understand my own powerlessness and my dependence on God, as I understand Him, I began to see that there was a life which, if I could have it, I would have chosen for myself from the beginning. It is through the continuing work of the Steps and the life in the Fellowship that I've learned to see that there is truly a better way into which I am being guided. As I come to know more about God, I am able to trust His ways and His plans for the development of His character in me. Quickly or not so quickly, I grow toward His own image and likeness.
