 Painting by Jeannine Lee

This is a painting of two people helping each other come out of addiction.In the background is a bright light that is shining out from them. That is the Creator/God. There is a 12 step program for Native Americans included in these words:
1. Honesty
2. Hope
3. Faith
4. Courage
5. Integrity
6. Willingness
7. Humility
8. Forgiveness
9. Justice
10. Perseverance
11. Spiritual Awakening
12. Service

Editor's note: For anyone who has ever struggled to come out of an addiction, whether alcohol, pornography, drugs or any other type, relationships who do not enable them are the key to success. Jeannine's picture portrays such a relationship. Religion alone cannot bring victories: Christ's love shown through personal relationships is the most effective of all.
