This step taught me that I can be alone without being lonely. It taught me what calmness, serenity, and peace really mean.

I have found that days when I fail to put the work into maintaining my spiritual contact with my HP by doing those simple things like prayer and meditation my day feels much more difficult. I struggle until I remember that this simple step allows me to be open to viewing life as a lesson rather than seeing things as a struggle. Only then am I open to what life truly has to offer and am able to find the gratitude for the second chance at life that the program has given me.
