2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

18 years ago I got sober thru AA and I didn't do narcotics then. I stayed sober for 9 years, sticking close to the programs principles. Then some things occurred in my life and I felt that I was suddenly abandoned by my higher power and so began my nine year decline into the depts of opiate addiction. How in the world can I believe that a power greater than myself can restore me to sanity when I feel that I've been completely abandoned by my higher power?
