This one is a life long process. What we will say is don't get discouraged. Hanging with God is not easy. It takes persistence and practice and lots and lots of humility. Something none of us are any good at.... progress not perfection.
Don't forget the word ONLY. Realize that you do not have the answer... we never have!
It's not about what we want cause if we had got anymore of that,,, we would have probably killed ourselves.
Its all about what we need!
Who knows what I need... I thought?
My sponsor.....noooo
My wife......nooooooo
My mother? I give up...WHO?
Only HE knows.. so if you don't seek Him how are you going to find out what His "Only" way is...the answer... your not.
"We have only one ultimate authority a loving God that may express Himself in our group conscience"... So if you can't get through on your own, let others help you by GOING TO A MEETING!
I think that bears repeating...
