32: What Is God Going To Do For Me

2/1/2024
What Is God Going To Do For Me was the first thing I thought during my first 12 step meeting. I grew up in a Catholic family where religion was important and practiced. There's something about religions that made me feel really uncomfortable and at the time I couldn't understand why. I grew up never believing in God or Christ, both those words made me feel uncomfortable and at some points in my life I hated God and Christ. It was not until I started my healing journey that things began to change for me and I discovered who I truly am. Today, I still don't follow any religion and you'll find out why.
