Getting on the Path

…follow these ten steps to freedom:

  1. Turn to God and ask him for forgiveness.
  2. Look at the reality of your failure and take it seriously.
  3. If there are others you have hurt, …ask for forgiveness, and be reconciled.
  4. Confess your failures to another person who understands God’s forgiveness…
  5. Work to make false standards and messages in your head more realistic.
  6. Get in community with other people and open up with each other, so they know you and you them.
  7. Do an entire moral inventory of your life, as far as you can remember, and completely as you can.
  8. Finally, claim your clean slate and go on from there in freedom.
  9. When you have accusing voices in your head, remember, they are lies.
  10. Memorize scripture.
