I was like, God, if I do all the outreach calls and do all the step work and spend all day every day doing recovery work, then I'm going to earn my step three. I'm going to get the love that I want, which is exactly the way that I think that I control how other people feel about me and what they're going to be able to do for me. And as soon as I said, God, I want you. I want you in my life. I want to know you better. I felt it. I felt my calm. And that very same day, I had the biggest miracles that have happened to me so far in my recovery happen all in a row. Bam, bam, bam. - Leslie
