i was told a while ago, and have come to believe, that the only way for me to grow in my recovery was to work the steps. meeting attendance, prayer meditation, and service was all good and quite possibly could keep me clean for an extended period of time. but those actions, while necessary, were hardly sufficient to make the life and personality changes needed to recover and thrive. my sponsors all insisted that they had never seen anyone recover without working the steps.
the last thing i wanted after i got clean and started down this path was to survive only, i wanted to thrive, find some piece of mind and escape from the chaos that was my life. the steps provide the means to those ends and a whole lot more, so as i embark on yet another cycle of steps, i am confident that this is the path for me and that i too can recover, yet another day.
