Real Growth Takes Time and Effort
A recovering woman stated on her fourth anniversary, It has taken me four years to finally feel good about myself. Although it was not until after four years that she became aware she was a good person, it is absurd to think that nothing had occurred during that time. We may not see or feel progress in our personality development until a certain point, but it is happening. The reassurance of people who have been there can make the waiting period tolerable. As long as we abstain from chemicals and work the Steps, real growth is constantly occurring.
