And when I talk to the brothers and sisters now that I'm walking through addiction with and trying to pastor and shepherd, the thing that helps most of them is they have weekly meetings, they go to a place and they sit down in a circle with people and they open up the meeting by saying: hi, my name is Clayton and I'm an addict, and then they talk about their week and they're able to confess: here's where I won This Week, here's where I failed This Week.
