Question:::…  What mystery about faith in your own HP have you discovered, lately?

Featured Comment:::…  “One mystery for me is that this is a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. I need trust in order to convince myself to turn things over to god, but in order to trust, I need proof that if I let go, whatever it is isn’t going to go to complete crap. And my life wasn’t great, but it wasn’t complete crap before either. So I’m learning to just let go of things I have no control over anyway. But the things I’m managing quite well I will continue to do so.” – Adam

Featured Comment from Adam –  “Honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness and it takes work to make sure I am these as much as possible. I think the sfz means we are willing to grow along spiritual lines. Ultimately I won’t stay sober if I don’t grow in this area.”
