The serenity prayer simply asks a God of your understanding to help you accept things you are not in control of, allow you to manage those things that you are able to manage, and the knowledge to know when you can and when you can't. The twelve steps is a process of recovery and when just getting clean the first three are very important in order to establish a foundation. You are suggested to get a sponsor (someone you can relate to and share with), go to meetings (get a meeting schedule so you know where meetings are held) , get a network (other people you can contact - get a phone book and record their numbers - who are clean and working the program), and begin to work the steps of the program (by reading the basic test, It Works: How and Why, and the Step Working Guide) with the guidance of your sponsor. By following these suggestions you will be well on your way to a new way of life. I hope this helped and my best wishes for a successfull journey
God Grant me the Serenity to accept the most unchangeable thing in my life today and always=powerlessness over addiction God Grant me courage to look at the unmanageablity in my life and then set about changing that, and the wisdom to know the differance that the best way to change is by living the Program ,, the 12 Step Tradition of Narcotics Anonymous Worldwide !!
