Embracing Step 12: Joe McDonald on Spirituality and Support in Recovery

The insanity of addiction is the fact that self-knowledge will not stop me, because at a certain point I will not be able to bring to consciousness with sufficient force the memory of suffering and humiliation of even A Week Or A Month Ago, and I'll be without defense, because whatever I'm going through now is too bad to worry about what it once was like.
