ROADS TO RECOVERY: PICKERS ANONYMOUS

12 Step Pickers Program - 5. Admitted to God and to another being the exact nature of our wrongs.

This is a hard one. You gotta read that inventory to another person. You have to face the world and admit the problem to another human being. Find someone who will listen to you without blaming or judging you and will be supportive of your attempts to get better. Hopefully this will be an understanding friend. If not, hire a counselor for a day if you are not already in regular counseling. Or perhaps there is a priest or minister whom you can talk to.

Admitting you have a problem to another person is the most profound and empowering thing you can do for yourself. Get it out in the open and be honest. Keeping it bottled up inside will just make the problem worse. If you don't have anyone you can trust, PAY someone to listen. Hire a psychologist for an hour. Talk to a school counselor or minister. Go to a free clinic. Find someone who will listen compassionately. If you can't find that person right away – keep looking. Don't give up. And by all means – join an online forum for pickers!!!
