Step 2

Step 2 is Come to believe that the power of God can restore you to complete spiritual health.

This weekend was easier then I thought. I did not go to any fast food restaurants and i am very proud of myself for that. But Saturday when I was driving I thought how sad it was that I could drive down the road and tell you what I liked at every fast food window. It was amazing at the thought of how I  could spend that energy and the money that I had spend. It made me feel like so many years ago when I added the cost of my addiction to crack and it was overwhelming and sad and many more words that I could not write.
 In the recovery book it states that as I will see the tender mercies of the Lord in your life as you learn to watch for them and as you come to believe that the power of God can indeed help you recover.
I believe that this statement applies to every person and their addictions (habits). I know that this step is important and has been a huge step in my recovery. The fact that God send his son who loved me enough to suffer for all my sins and trangressions (including overeating) and to die for me. To think my older brother loved me enough to die for me so that I might have eternal life is amazing. That My desires, cravings, and sins were important enough to him that he was willing to help me. I know that these 12 steps can lead to a happy, joyful, peaceful life.
