Thank you all! This is inspirational. The promises do give me hope to continue this journey. There was part of me that was skeptical but all the other steps have shown miraculous results. My sponsor told me that skepticism is lacking faith in my Higher Power so I threw that out the window.

For instance, I can share an experience I had with Step 7, my sponsor and I reviewed it and we did the prayers in the Big Book, I honestly thought I was ready to move onto step 8. Although something wasn't quite right, I couldn't go on, it felt unfinished. So my spons told me to keep doing step 7 everyday, "humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings." Everyday I would (and with my sponsors persistence) get onto my knees and ask my HP to remove my defects...many times when my defects would come up in my life, I would leave the room and quietly do this step. I would be in tears! This went on for awhile --also my sponsor was gentle and encouraging that it was okay to work on a specific step for awhile. Well, recently, I have finally come to know and accept my BPD diagnosis and am doing the necessary therapies to combat it...much of my shortcomings have revolved around my disorder for so long! My shortcomings are slowly leaving. My Higher Power delivered afterall!

"God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves."
I am truly amazed...
