JFT March 20 Higher power


 

 

 

Most of us have no trouble admitting that addiction had become a destructive force in our lives.  Our best efforts resulted in ever greater destruction and despair.  At some point, we realized that we needed the help of some Power greater than our addiction.

Basic Text, p. 24

Most of us know without a doubt that our lives have been filled with destruction.  Learning that we have a disease called addiction helps us understand the source or cause of this destruction.  We can recognize addiction as a power that has worked devastation in our lives.  When we take the First Step, we admit that the destructive force of addiction is bigger than we are.  We are powerless over it.

At this point, our only hope is to find some Power greater than the force of our addiction--a Power bent on preserving life, not ending it.  We don't have to understand it or even name it; we only have to believe that there could be such a Higher Power.  The belief that a benevolent Power greater than our addiction just might exist gives us enough hope to stay clean, a day at a time.

Just for today:  I believe in the possibility of some Power thats bigger than my addiction.

I realized many years ago that I needed more help than selfwill to beat my addiction. At meetings I learned about the Higher Power and having that to believe in helped me to achieve my goal so far in recovery . By the good grace of God and the Higher Power I have just began on my tenth year with out mind altering substances in my body .

.....I used to reach for a powerful 'high' in times of 'need',,,,today I'm glad to feel a connection with a higher power. It feels good to connect with the finer energies in life,sense the subtle things,,,,
