  To whom this may concern-maybe my outlook on recovery or helping another suffering addict-male or female is different. What this program has taught and FREELY given me is to reach out and help someone that has lost hope in a world that has people that clearly feel "LITTLE you and BIG I".
No matter what the situation may be or what your addiction was i.e. the lady selling her body for drugs to the men that are called tricks that drive up and down the street that support their addiction, or the person who eats too much, the person who gambles too much, it's all addiction, sick behavior and wrong.
And most of us live with these dark secrets that fester, but with God's Grace you've been able to obstain and realize that there is a better way of life. You have asked your Higher Power for help and work the 12 steps of recovery. You've changed your life and help other suffering people. You don't judge. You don't judge by the color of skin, how many times incarcerated, how many times molested when a child, or how short my skirt is.
You don't jusdge what is appropriate or not appropriate for me. To accept people, places and things for what they are and no matter what that person does, as long as I've done the best of my ability and resources to help. To do God's Will to help save someone's life and maybe make a difference, and after that the rest is up to them. Then I can sleep at night knowing I did my part.
