In 12 Step Recovery we receive many gifts. Perhaps one of the greatest of these gifts is the spiritual awakening that begins when we stop using. Growing stronger each day, one day at a time, we apply the steps in our lives.
Denny had achieved 7,120 days of a day at a time… just short of 20 years. The majority of those years he led a 12 Step Recovery group at Hope Church. Denny had a passion to do 12th - step work (carrying the message to others). All were welcome to the meetings, whether you had one day or 20 years of sobriety. Not only at meetings, but if someone needed support or a visit, Denny was there for them. He has aided the spiritual, mental and physical healing for countless individuals, young and old. Only a desire for sobriety was required for attendance. He touched the lives of each person in attendance. Through each member’s change, the lives of their husbands, wives, sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, employers, and friends were positively affected as well.
“The new spark of life within is a direct result of our new relationship initiated and developed by LIVING the twelve steps,” Denny shares. “12 Step work promises you one thing… CHANGE.” He would then open his recovery book and read the promises.
Of the five books Denny used in preparation of his 12 Step Recovery meetings, a bookmark addressing sadness is slipped into four of them. A reading from the publication, “The Language of Letting Go”:
SADNESS. Ultimately, to grieve our losses means to surrender to our feelings. So many of us have lost so much, have said so many good-byes, have been through so many changes.
We may want to hold back the tides of change, not because the change isn’t good, but because we have had so much change, so much loss. Sometimes we begin to believe grief, or pain, is a permanent condition.
The pain will stop. Once felt and released, our feelings will bring us to a better place than where we started. Feeling our feelings instead of denying or minimizing them, is how we heal from our past and move forward into a better future. Feeling our feelings is how we let go.
It may hurt for a moment, but peace and acceptance are on the other side. So is a new beginning.
Cherishing Life Sharing Forever
