A wrench for every nut
Many of us used to think we were beyond help. Our problems, it seemed, were so grave, so unique, surely there was no help for us. Many of us had tried all kinds of things to get help for our addictions psychiatrists, doctors, remedies of all kinds and nothing seemed to work. We always ended up back in the fatal embrace of our addictions.
But in recovery, we discovered an array of tools that could bring us some relief from the difficulties we had come to accept as the way we were. Aspects of our personalities that appeared to be bolted down began to loosen up. The almost unthinkable prospect of change inspired a newfound energy and willingness to address some of our most troubling character defects and with the tools of powerlessness, surrender, faith and honesty, some of these defects began to budge. We began to see that in recovery there was, in fact, a wrench for every nut.
