because of my flailing around in other 12-step programs, i am ready to take step Two...or at least, i can state the following truthfully:
I believe a Power greater than myself can restore me to sanity...and honesty.
although detailing this Power is usually done between a sponsor and sponsee, i will say that my Power is simply Everything. all of it...the whole damn universe, of which i am a part. my Higher Power is, in this sense, like the Tao: in all things, and in nothing, and unexpressable, ineffable, vast. it is a Higher Power an atheist might recognize, perhaps, because there are no priests, commandments, or holy books...only a way of bein with it, or in struggle against it.
i do not require that others believe this. i believe it can heal and restore me, and that is what matters. Everything happens for a reason...even me.

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
I prayed to God for help with my lying problem. I also decided to keep fast from sweets on all Fridays until Easter devouting it to the fight with lies. I deeply believe that God can help me. There is a fight in me between good and bad and only God's support can help me to stand at the right side.
My higher power is both Christ and the universe. The higher power is a part of everything and we are a part of that power. I know that power has brought us together.
I admit that I am frightened by this step. Let me explain: I know that something greater than myself, something in the universal plan is in the works, and even though I am feeling confused and angry, a little bit of me believes that I'm going to be ok, that everything is going to work out.
I do believe that something greater than myself can restore me as a beloved and necessary part of this universe.
using the 12 steps is not a perfect model, and i', open to other things, but i feel i should start with some framework. i know a lot of folks in 12 step programs and i can probably use them to help use that framework, but i know the most important thing in that model is frequent 1 to 1 contact with another sufferer. i'm open to using video calls, chats, texts, or actual meetings...whatever works.
let me know. anybody.
