Keep It Simple

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

The Second Step directs us to believe there is hope for us. It may take time to believe this. Many of us had given up hope. But look around. Hope fills our meeting rooms. We are surrounded by miracles. This Power greater than ourselves has healed many. Listen as others tell their stories. They speak of how powerful this Power is. At times, we will not believe. This is normal But in recovery ,"coming to believe" means opening ourselves up to healing power found in the program.

Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, allow me to believe Help me to stay open to recovery.

Action for the Day: I will list three examples of my past insanity. I will share these examples with my group, sponsor, a program friend, or with my Higher Power. I will remember that I'm a miracle.

Like to think of it as Came, Came to, Came to believe (that the program would work for me).

Didn't think I was crazy found i was crazily insane.

1). Drinking and driving (son in the car. Many times if I had been pulled over, they would have locked me up and thrown away the key. Yet my son once told me he never saw me drunk.

2). Dating a guy who drank so much I worried that I couldn't keep up to him. He took me for my first thingytail at the Skyline Hotel by the Toronto airport at 4 pm in the afternoon. The country bumpkin thought it was high class.

3). Taking two 222s with my nightcap so I wouldn't have a hangover. Didn't have time to have a hangover had to be at the Legion for noon.
