I love being in a program that cultivates both spirituality and self-development. I crave closeness to God and this program has helped me to find a spirituality that really satisfies, in addition to leading me back to the religion of my upbringing. I have found a God Who is loving and all-powerful, as described in Alcoholics Anonymous, and Who wants to have a relationship with me. God is there for me in every way especially when it comes to keeping me sane and sober, and has diminished substantially the most problematic behaviors that I struggle with. For example, low self-esteem and all its manifestations like codependency, perfectionism, approval seeking, people-pleasing, etc.
