Authentic Spirituality

"In my opinion, being in touch with our own spirituality is crucial to recovery in a Twelve-Step program. In the first place each of the Twelve Steps is about either accountability or spirituality. But beyond that, authentic spirituality is about being accepted, loved, and valued in a relationship with Ultimate Reality -- our value and self-acceptance are experientially verified as we relate to the Truth itself."
