Addiction Recovery

Today the tender mercy I have to recognize is the addiction recovery program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I don't have your normal everyday addiction like drugs, alcohol or pornography, but I do have an addiction and I am not going to go into detail about it because it is personal. The addiction recovery program put on by the LDS church is based on the Alcoholic's Anonymous 12 step program, but it is centered on Christ. I admit that I haven't been perfect in working the steps, in fact I have been very far from perfect in working them, but going to the meetings each week and getting the support of the people there has helped me to continue to work to overcome my addictive behavior. The Spirit of the Lord is always at the meetings and the people are absolutely wonderful. It is truly a tender mercy from the Lord that my Relief Society president suggested to me to attend these meetings.
