    And wisdom to know the difference.


    It works. But you have to work at it and share it. And, if you practice these steps you should have the spiritual awakening that will bring the relief from alcohol and the addition to it.


    Remember that the only way to keep it is to give it away. This is where the spiritual awakening shines. We now know that service and working with others is the best way to keep our center in the program and maintain our Daily Reprieve.

    Daily inventory and quiet meditation with a God of our understanding keeps us grounded and on the path.

    Prayer is talking to God and meditation is listening to God.


    Pg 87 - Conlude your mediation with a prayer. But this is prayer for help with what we need, not a request or shopping list of what we want. There is no bargain, or fox hole prayers here.

    And when we are willing to do his will we will not be caught short on what we can achieve or accomplish.


    The 11th Step Prayer is: “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.” -- 11th Step Prayer
