Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 [:-B] In the 12 step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, a popular saying is H.O.W. A.A. teaches that alcholism is a three-fold dis-ease with mental, physical and spiritual components.If we were to apply the same principle to healing from cancer, we could get the same results. Many of us has shown that this is possible, if we practice H.O.W. Honesty * What did my lifestyle do to contribute to cancer? * What can I change to heal my body, mind and spirit? Openmindedness * How do I know that something won't work? I need to examine my negative beliefs and thought patterns before I block the path to healing and recovery. * Can all the cancer survivors who are on Cancercured be lying? Nope! I believe them! Willingness * Am I willing to work hard and to, as A.A. says, " Go to any lengths to stay sober (heal from cancer)? " * Am I willing to let go of destructive eating habits and other lifestyle blockages to recovery? * Am I willing to turn to a higher power to lighten the load to guide my life and take the stress off of holding the entire world on my shoulders? * Am I willing to listen to others who have recovered from cancer? * Am I willing to gain some humility that maybe that others know something that I don't know? There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation.
