recovery
I have been going to noon meetings with Jill at the various buildings in the area, and I have to say that the 12-step program that the church offers is amazing. It will help anyone who is sincere about changing their lives. I have honestly felt the spirit in every meeting. I am so thankful that this program is available to addicts. It is as necessary for them as chemo is necessary for cancer patients. Addiction and alcoholism are as deadly as any other terminal disease, spiritually, much more than physically. The meetings are so instrumental in helping them feel the spirit again, and want to have it with them always. The steps help them....line upon line......just wanted to express my gratitude.............................Jill is doing well.

it's good stuff. at the meeting here a few wks ago, i bore my testimony about ether 12:27 and king lamoni's father, and a veteran 12-stepper piped up and said, "you know what we always called the original program, doncha? repentance for dummies!" i thought that was cute. but i get what he is saying cuz the program is exactly what i teach in primary, but the restitution step is just broken into 7 parts. it's hard work. but like president hinckley always said, "WE CAN DO HARD THINGS!"
Thanks Mom! That means so much to me! I love you and I am so grateful to be here with you. I know the Lord has sent you to me, once to give me life, and a thousand other times to save it! I agree that I couldn't do it without the church's 12 steps! Thanks for going with me.
