How a Twelve Step Campus Indirectly Affected My Way of Thinking

While going to college I have seen first hand how a twelve step campus can help an individual. I myself am not an addict to food, booze or drugs but I do have family and friends who fall into those groups. One of my closest friends decided to try a twelve step programon campus ninety days ago and the results have been phenomenal. She has taken that brave first step of admission, and surrendered her decisions to a higher power alongside a group of supporters. By doing so, she is able to stay in control one day at a time. The anonymous group for students she is a member of allows her to stand tall in tough situations where her addiction could normally get the better of her. Within three months she has increased her metabolism, her energy level, her exercise pattern, and most of all, her happiness. She writes in her diary every evening after doing her homework and before going to sleep, about the challenges she overcame that day. She calls her sponsor at 6:45 every morning before class to talk about her plan for the day. The amount of dedication she has to this 12 step school of thought is admirable and makes me wonder what I’m missing out on. I claim no addiction of my own, but is that the truth?
