Recovery Road
I am grateful to have come out of the darkness of addiction and to have found the road of recovery. It feels so good to be walking down the road, knowing I am at last making progress, stepping lively and lifting the burdens of shame and guilt. The road is straight, turning neither right nor left, and we walk taking one step at a time, sometimes one minute at a time but eventually one day at a time. But lest we get too confident, we look to the side of the road to see the ditch, following us along, where surely we could end up at any moment. It takes constant care to stay with the program of recovery and remain firmly on the road and not in the ditch.
Pornography Addiction Recovery: Healing One Step at a Time
In June of 2009, Lia McClanahan wrote a wonderful article outlining the resources available to those who suffer from addiction. She shares uplifting and hopeful stories about those that have used these resources to overcome the addictions that have bound them. This is an excerpt from her article.
“When he was arrested a second time for drunk driving, he was ordered to get treatment. In the Church’s program, he learned that receiving forgiveness and regaining a sense of self-worth were possible. He attended church every Sunday, studied the 12 steps, and applied these gospel principles and actions to his life. He became willing to turn his life over to Heavenly Father and, in the process, learned how to love himself and how to let the Atonement work in his life. “I couldn’t overcome all these things by myself,” he says. “The Savior can do for me what I can’t do for myself.”
Those who struggle with addiction aren’t the only ones who can experience a mighty change: loved ones find that as they apply the 12 steps to their own lives and attend recovery meetings, they can experience the blessings of the Atonement in regard to their own grief. In some areas the addiction recovery program provides support groups for family and friends, who discover that the Savior can heal them of the pain, anger, and guilt that loved ones sometimes feel.“
