Step Eleven ~ Part 2: Questions

"Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and the power to carry that out."

1. In this relationship with my Higher Power, what is my responsibility and what is God's?

2. What old attitudes regarding God or teachings from others that presented negative images of God, do I need to overcome?

3. As my 'conscious contact' improves, does my image of God change? How?

4. How important is this relationship to my recovery and how invested am I in this relationship (time, energy and commitment)?
