I had been in Nar-Anon for several years but I was still having a difficult time. I was still feeling hopeless and frustrated. I did not believe the program was working. I felt that my recovery was not happening fast enough and that my Higher Power was not helping me. I continued to make bad decisions, had a bad attitude, and lectured and argued with the addict in my life. The same character defects I listed in my fourth step inventory a year earlier were still plaguing me. I knew my character defects and had admitted them to anyone who would listen. Why wasn’t God removing them?…
