Breaking the Chains: The Power of Admission and Fellowship in Recovery
The process of recovery requires coming out of the darkness, out of one's secretness, and coming to terms with acquiring honesty and then humbling ourselves and being a part of a group, not doing things on one's own learning when it's appropriate, to ask for help and to not rely upon our own thinking and our own understanding.
