We have an even harder time establishing real accountability partners to ask us the tough questions. I believe we are all too busy with "living" to slow down and live, grow, fellowship. It is vital that we somehow make the effort to find at least one guy we can rely on to keep us accountable and for us to keep someone accountable as well.

I'm going through a major crisis in my life and found the church ill-equipped to deal with me. I returned to the 12-step program because of a yearning for a place where sinners just share their lives and stories, no one has it figured out and people just weep with those who weep.
