Thank Goodness for the 12 Step programs and other support groups available to aid in the recovery process. It is hard to imagine a world without them. Any addict, trauma survivor, or mentally ill person would simply be without one of the greatest resources for healing. The idea of being singularly left on our own to figure out the way to wellness is unfathomable at this point. The true spiritual community, with its loving presence and consistency, provides just what is needed to bring us to the next phase of personal development. The result is more self-confidence and the ability and willingness to help others. This is a method to overcome these serious afflictions.
