From Adam — “The parts of us that are one with each other. This quote below, I believe, was meant to apply to romantic love. But I have come to believe it can apply to people in general when they are in communion with each other.
“I honour the place in you in which the entire universe dwells. I honour the place in you which is of Love, of Truth, of Light, and of Peace. When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, We are One.” -Ancient Sanskrit Blessing the World

From Adam —- “I’ve heard this called “being in alignment” before. Didn’t think of it as aligning my ego with my higher power but totally makes sense. I can’t think of specifics but every time I’m kind or compassionate, I’m in alignment. On my recent trip, I always tipped 20-30%. People work hard and many service staff struggles to make ends meet.”

What prejudices do you hold or had held about a power greater than oneself, i.e., an HP?

“My prejudices of my higher power are anything Christian-based and are inextricably linked to modern Christian thinking. I do not agree with much of it. So this makes it extremely difficult to navigate terminology such as faith, God, and prayer. But I have to define what these mean for me and often use different terms that do not have the same connotations for me.” – Adam

CONDUCTED IN “A SPIRIT OF SELF-LOVE & HEALING” – “Usually there is one person whom we have inflicted the greatest damage – ourselves.” “So … most of us need to write our own name.” “… [U]ntil we can take this Step in a spirit of self-love and healing, we may not be ready for it.” (How Al Anon Works, pp. 58- 59 on being harmed)

Analysis of “Immense Healing Begins When We Heal the One We Harmed the Most”

In today’s SFZ, healing often begins by facing a hard truth: we hurt ourselves the most. As How Al-Anon Works suggests, self-inflicted harm can be deep and lasting. The text urges us to write our own name on the amends list, recognizing that recovery requires self-love and compassion. Brené Brown supports this view, stating that vulnerability is necessary for healing. Healing demands honesty and courage—not shame.

The It Works, How & Why text discusses how addicts often misunderstand the harm they cause themselves. Some deny all blame; others take on too much. This confusion fuels shame. Talking with others in recovery can reveal the truth, offering clarity. Carl Jung, a pioneer in psychology, argued that shadow work—facing parts of ourselves we hide—leads to wholeness. Recovery mirrors this work.

Mitch Albom poetically warns that anger and hate poison us. The idea echoes Buddhist philosophy: holding onto pain only increases suffering. Forgiveness is freedom.

The questions of power and leadership arise in recovery, too. The Big Book asks who runs A.A., highlighting its unique structure. Overeaters Anonymous provides the answer: no one person leads. Instead, a Higher Power guides. This reflects Lao Tzu’s teaching that true leaders lead without control.

John Quincy Adams said true leadership inspires others. This aligns with recovery principles: lead by healing, not authority.

The message is clear, at its heart: healing begins when we forgive ourselves and walk in love, not fear.
