September 19

Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

~Step Two of Alcoholics Anonymous

The Second Step pushes us to start believing in something other than ourselves. After facing that we are powerless in Step One, we feel vulnerable. What we do with our vulnerability is very important.

Hope is a power greater than us. We see others healing in the groups we attend, so we start to believe in a healing power. The power of the group is greater than us.

As we start to believe in hope, in our group, and in ourselves, we are slowly restored to sanity. When we were using alcohol and drugs, we knew our thinking and behavior were not balanced and sane, but we gave in because we had no hope. Now we have hope because we see that recovery creates a healthy life of sanity.
Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, I see you in the smiles and serenity of people in recovery. Please restore me to sanity.
Today's Action

Today I will make a list of the ways my active addiction made my thoughts and actions insane and off-balanced.

Today's reading is from the book God Grant Me: More Daily Meditations from the Authors of Keep It Simple*
