In the first Recovery Principle, we admitted that we were powerless. It's through this admission that we were able to both believe and receive God's power to help us recover. However we do need to resist the temptation to cover the bottomless pit of our hurts hangups, and habits with layers of denial or just to try some quick fix. Instead, we need to keep those hurts exposed to the light so that through God's power they can truly heal in the second principle we come to believe that God exist and that we're important to Him.
