Summary

In this episode, we cover Step Seven of the Twelve Steps Codependents’ Guide To The Twelve Steps, Melody Beattie STEP 7 - Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings Quote #1 - “I’ve learned that letting go of my defects does not eliminate my personality. It allows it to come through and shine for the first time since I was a very young child.”(p108 Codependents’ Guide, M. Beattie) Quote #2 - “I still don't fully understand it but I’ve learned to trust it. It is a gradual process, a healing process, and a spiritual process. It doesn't hurt, at least not any more than necessary to heal us from past hurts or to get our attention. It is a palatable process, and even the pain becomes palatable, once we become willing to feel instead of resist, once we become willing to surrender. It is not, I learned, an instantaneous process. And there is nothing to fear. Over the years, we become changed. I did not have to change myself. I was not instantly revolutionized…(p109 Codependents’ Guide, M. Beattie) Quote #3 - “I learned to deal with feelings. I began to be healed from the backlog of feelings from my past. I even saw my past transformed and began to understand the gifts from all of it, even the most painful moments.” (p113 Codependents’ Guide, M. Beattie)
