Petunia

Struggling alone

Each of us is a struggling soul. We had to struggle with our addictions for some time before we found this program, and eventually each struggling soul must face the realities of life. If we face the trials of life alone, we will fail.

But if we make our will one with our Higher Power in the Third Step, nothing will be too much to bear. After taking this Step, we will realize that we are one with God and that we don't have to struggle alone any longer.

Am I still struggling alone?

May I turn my will and my life
over to my Higher Power.

From the book Day by Day - Second Edition by Anonymous

Thanks for this Petunia.

Your signature is also a good reminder that I should be enjoying a glorious day today, because yesterday I fell and now I'm rising again.

Long way to go though, lots of amends to be made to loved ones and lots of hard work to do along the path of recovery.

Thanks again.

Rich - long way for me too, so you're definitely not alone. Just remember to be gentle with yourself as we are all "learning" the things that we never learned as a child. And although we are now "grown-ups" it doesn't mean that we won't falter from time to time.
