Why is it stressed that the message of our program be carried to others still suffering?
The 12 Step programs will not continue unless we have newcomers and members recovering. Anyone suffering from addiction needs to have hope. Unless we carry the message, there is no hope. Active addiction took away any hope I had. When I came to program, it was with feelings of suicide.
I've tried almost everything to stop my compulsive overeating and the crazy thinking/behaviors. Nothing had staying power. Then someone carried the message to me. That was 25 years ago. I'm grateful they did - my life is totally different today.
