It takes <em>real</em> humility to admit we fail. The message to the Church of Laodecia, in Revelation 3, tells the current Church how to achieve this. Unfortunately, we want to be told how great we are, what good people we are, and how there are no scary monsters under the bed. May you continue to discover the recovery you seek! One day at a time. And remember, progress is better than perfection! Thanks for the affirmation Celeste. It takes real humility to admit we fail.

But, I had to response to this post. I have started attending a 12-step for co-dependency and my experience parallels what you just described. People know they broken and are depending on their "higher power" to be well. They are so happy -even with their brokenness and struggles - how different is that from church where we are all trying to look perfect. It is a good place to be- I have often asked in the last month - why can't church be more like this? Thanks for your honesty and know that there many of us that struggle with the same issues-especially regarding church attendance and worshiping in spirit & truth.
