Alcoholics Anonymous are Saving Lives
Alcoholics Anonymous are saving lives and even though it is anonymous the credit goes beyond
just being sober, but it is also changing behaviors which would lead to decreasing crime and
domestic abuse.
Alcoholics Anonymous is more than a meeting place for recovering alcoholics. It is also a place to
work on behavior changes by sharing and admitting negative behaviors, which could lead to a
relapse, and by being rigorously honest these changes of behaviors will lead to a spiritual
awakening that we find in such a spiritual program.
Honest
My name is "John Doe" I am an alcoholic. This is the first step of alcoholics anonymous. By
admitting that we were alcoholics and our lives became unmanageable we are accepting the
defeat. Admitting powerlessness brings on a power greater than self. Changes of ones self is now
in the works by working through step one and with out it the a chance of an alcoholic to stay sober
is at the minimum.
Taking a personal inventory
This is mainly coming from the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Taking your personal inventory
and not your significant others family, or old using friends. This is about what you did do and
rather than what you did not do. This is about you and the wrongs you committed. This is about
the root of the problems that causes the alcohol to become so powerful. Yes, by sharing the
wrongs you done and not blaming others will open the door to empathy, a feeling of sharing
someone else’s pain and to care for another fellow human being. This is not pity me or pity soul.
It is you looking into the mirror. After you work through your inventory list, it is now time to share it.
Sharing your personal inventory
By sitting down with a sponsor, pastor, friend, or a family member it will be time to share your
inventory. I would say, "Throw away your garbage and become clean." This is where the change
comes. Yes, feel the pain of shame, guilt, hurt, sad, and empathy. Once your garbage is all out
the Spiritual Awakening will began to grow with wisdom and glow.
The change of being totally honest helps alcoholics to maintain sobriety and to change their
behaviors. The changes affect them by them learning to live an honest and productive life. It is
the continuing works by looking at all possibilities and to be part of an organization that is
anonymous.
