Recovery Without Rules Editor Jul 23 : 00:50
When I was young and foolish, I hated rules.
As I got older and entered recovery, I learned that the adage "Nothing is Free" was very true. As I progress through my recovery I see that I have something to pay for every broken rule. In the book of Genesis we see that the very first gift God gave to mankind was a rule, an instruction to not eat from a particular tree in the garden. Without this rule, man couldn't go wrong. He also couldn't show the extent of his love for God. Without a way to show someone that you hate them , you can't possibly show them you love them. Now you may ask, if God didn't want them touching the tree, why didn't he just put a big wall around it or a few muscular angels with swords and this would have deterred Adam and Eve? Truth be told, you have to be allowed to break the rules. That has to be an option open to you to choose. I can't tell how I am doing if there are no rules. They act as a barometer as to my relationship with God.
