If in the 12 step programs they want us to accept that some how we have been responsible for our present condition how can that possibly be as they say we at to “carried GROW's hopeful healing and transforming message to others in similar need.”
I believe we can USE OUR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO SUPPORT OTHERS WHO ARE SUFFERING.
How I would re write those 12 steps of blame and shame is:
My 12 steps of Recovery and Personal Growth
1. I recognise I have a difficulty/illness in life.
2. I firmly resolved to get well with the help I need.
3. I realise with time and support I can regain a more positive life.
4. I accept myself as I am and what I can be.
5. I take a look at who I am and what I want out of life.
6. I take each day as it comes and find pleasure in small things.
7. I take care of my body getting up and motivated just one step at a time.
8. I learned to think by reason rather than by feelings and imagination.
9. I educate my will and thinking to direct my feelings.
10. I take my responsible and caring place in society.
11. I grow daily in wisdom and knowledge of who I am and all that I can be.
12. I develop a concern for others and support others in need to grow in wisdom and knowledge of them selves.
This to me is a Positive message to pass on to others who may suffer the similar difficulties in life that I have had to overcome.
