  • How does this step work for you?
  • If you're not a very religious person, how do you make it work?
  • What does it mean to you?
  • How do you practice this step?
  • When we do step 11, what happens?

Hope you will all join in on Wednesday, 8PM Eastern time in the Chat Room.
1) I go by the book. " ..praying only for the knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out". I don't pray for world peace or for the still suffering alcoholic or for my son to get a job or anything other than exactly what the step says.


2) I view prayer as my way to communicate with my higher power. I work it it in with my tenth step. " Ok where did I eff up today ...why? ...was I falling back on my old character defects ? ....let's think about the next day? What might happen....how should I handle it '"God's way' ..."
