I am glad to see your posts - you seem very positive, and that's important. Too often I see how "the system" doesn't work - I mean, people staying clean and staying out of jail. No one teaches people HOW to stay clean by getting to the ROOT of the addictions, the cause behind the behavior. If the system did a better job of doing that, the cycle within people would be broken and everyone would know they are good and can live with pure happiness.
I will pray for you everyday to find the power within - because I know you can do it. BELIEVE everyday that you can and will, because YOU ARE WORTH IT.
The thing about AA meetings is that they teach about having a higher power. I believe what would be more effective is if they actually taught WHO that higher power is and how much He loves you and wants you to have a fulfilling life of happiness.
You've heard God is good and God is love - for many people (myself included) it didn't make sense. I thought how can God be good when He punishes me, allows people to have terrible diseases and tragic things to occur. What I learned is - that is not God. God does not do those things.
When we start finding things out about who God really is and how applying His word can transform our lives - it's amazing. I will pray for you to find this amazing inner strength because once you do ALL great things are possible and it would heal you, allowing you to finally be free from addiction, forever.
Don't allow the religious people we've met along the way, who may have judged us, to allow those experiences to shape our idea of who God is - because like I said, God is love. If it's not love and goodness, if it doesn't leave you with a good feeling, IT IS NOT GOD.
I hope you have a Merry Christmas and remember Jesus died for us because through Him we stand before God as perfect humans that never did a single thing wrong. We can forgive ourselves for messing up, because God forgives us.
The TRUTH really does set you FREE.
