Choosing the spiritual life

As we come into recovery, we have a critical choice to make. We can choose either the spiritual world (the Twelve Steps) or the material world (which we already know hasn't worked for us). We can choose to live in the spirit or to live in an illusion (part of which was our addiction).

We can put our faith in a Higher Power or we can follow (and fear) the opinions of others. We can make a commitment, or we can be passive and withdrawn.

Which choice strengthens my recovery?

Higher Power, help me to always choose
the path that keeps my recovery strong.

As part of my spiritual life, today I will:

Choose the Twelve Steps of the program, and continue to pray and meditate, and to keep incontact with the spirit.
