Just For Today
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 that's bigger
than my addiction.

I've been so stupid, I can't believe I did all that to myself, by the time I flew home to Canada, I was 94lbs, and I looked like crap! But I've now been clean for 32 days and I am so happy, addiction is a form of suicide, everyday that I was using I just wanted to die, and at the very begining of my recovery I wanted to die even more than before. I'm 21 yrs old and I've been using hard drugs since I was 11, that's the honest truth, but I was 4 years clean after becomming a herion addict before I moved to Costa Rica. I thought that I had my problem WELL under controll. That just goes to show you that when you start to think like that is when it will sneak up on you and take controll of you and your life once again. You touched my heart, so once again THANK YOU!!
. I will be back looking for Lin and others.
