C is for...

[MajestyJo]

C is for Catch. I had to give myself time to catch onto the program. I brought the body and eventually the mind followed. The key to the program is the 12 Steps. I went to a lot of Step meetings and listened to what others had to share. I learned through others by listening to what they had to say. They said to take what I needed and leave the rest. I did that until I heard a friend (met him at his first meeting) say, "Take what you need, but take what you don't need too. You might come across someone who does need it and you can pass it on."

Don't leave until the miracle happens. Catch onto another fellowship member and hang on for dear life. For me using and a relapse wasn't an option. I had to be willing to do what ever it took to stay clean and sober.
