I have been clean for over 8 months now. When I was high I use to steal alot from Walmart where I worked to pay for my addiction. I use to steal from my mothers purse when I use to visit and stole her credit card once to pay buy things for my dealer for my addiction. I blackmaled my sister to give me money 3 times or I would tell her husband she had cheated on him. I broke in to my mothers neigbors house and stole a watch and necklace then pawned it for my addiction. I stole my best friend’s new iPhone and gave it to my dealer for my addiction. I then blamed it on her other friend. I pushed oral sex three different times on my doctor around his office just so I could extorted him for money by telling his wife who was pregnant at the time. I slashed the tires of my ex’s car because he refused to give me more money for my addiction. I took my boyfriend’s father’s gun out of his car then used it to rob 2 trap houses for my addiction. I use to shoplift about every store I entered for items my dealer wanted for my addiction. Forgive me and I am not the same person now and regret all I have done to hurt others close to me.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Keep up the good work. Keep using your healthy supports and support your recovering peers in turn. Never give up (even if you slip up).
Now I really want to go the medical school, who knew.
Ah, yes, the 12 E-Steps.
Weed shouldn’t have been legalized.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know that you don’t actually exist (and that i have to do things myself instead of leaning on a childish fiction).
I would like to share some advice that a fellow addict gave me years ago, and it changed my life: when spelling a lot remember a lot is a lot more than one word.
If this were a real person, they would be telling this stuff to their sponsor (“admitted to another person the exact nature of our wrongs”) and making amends with the people they hurt, instead of writing an IA.
Fuck that shit.
A lot of people do drugs, and often, without resorting to your bullshit.
On behalf of everyone you named FUCK YOU CUNT.
Your suppose to tell these things to the people you hurt.
You can tell us if those people would be traumatized just hearing you repent. Good luck to you,your a mess and endearing.
And that’s the way we became the Brady Bunch! But seriously it’s true what they say here: to complete this step you must make amends directly with the people you hurt. Not Walmart, those fucks steal from workers and small business to support their addiction to money so fuck em. But your family yes. You’re doing a good job so far, you can ignore that hateful fuck who judged you on this thread, and the retarded atheist who used your confession as an opportunity to tell us all that god doesn’t exist. There is nothing wrong with identifying with a higher power. The most important step is admitting that you were powerless against your addiction and it sounds like you’re doing well with that one. Stay strong and find faith any way you can. Good luck.
Best of luck with your abstinence and recovery, I hope it works out for you.
