Post Info	TOPIC: God Could Restore Us to Sanity ( Just for Today )
BigV Senior Member Status: Offline Posts: 3718 Date: Dec 27, 2008	God Could Restore Us to Sanity ( Just for Today ) Permalink   December 27, 2008 God Could Restore Us to Sanity Page 377 "The process of coming to believe restores us to sanity. The strength to move into action comes from this belief" Basic Text p.25 Now that we've finally admitted our insanity and seen examples of it in all its manifestations, we might be tempted to believe that we are doomed to repeat this behavior for the rest of our lives. Just as we thought that our active addiction was hopeless and we'd never get clean, we might now believe that our particular brand of insanity is hopeless. Not so! We know that we owe our freedom from active addiction to the grace of a loving God. If our Higher Power can perform such a miracle as relieving our obsession to use drugs, surely this Power can also relieve our insanity in all its forms. If we doubt this, all we have to do is think about the sanity that has already been restored to our lives. Maybe we've gotten carried away with our credit cards, but sanity returns when we admit defeat and cut them all up. Perhaps we've been feeling lonely and want to go visit our old using buddies. Going to visit our sponsor instead is a sane act. The insanity of our addiction recedes into the past as we begin experiencing moments of sanity in our recovery. Our belief in a Power greater than ourselves grows as we begin to understand that even our brand of insanity is nothing in the face of this Power. Just for Today: I thank the God of my understanding for each sane act in my life, for I know they are indications of my restoration to sanity. __________________ It's all about spirituality...
