Growing up I was taught that when you get to the end of your rope, you should tie a big knot and hang on. This thinking will definitely leave an alcoholic hanging - and not in a good way. In recovery we learn that when we get to the end of our rope, we need to Let Go!
Yes, in regard to the recovery from my A.'s alcoholism, addiction, suicide attempt, and abuse, those Twelve Steps taught me how to get released from my self-criticism. Thank to my HP, up to Step 7 I am done for today.
