The Twelve Steps are based on trusting in “a Power greater than ourselves.” Some people call their Higher Power God. Your Higher Power can be defined in many ways. Some people find their Higher Power in nature or in a group of recovery friends. A belief in God or religion is not necessary. What is necessary is knowing that you can’t achieve sobriety alone.
Action for the Day
Describe how you see your Higher Power. If you have trouble trusting or accepting help from others or if you insist on handling things alone, you will probably resist the idea that a Higher Power can help you. If you don’t have an idea of a Higher Power right now, write about something or someone who you trust. Whom or what do you have faith in?
Thought for the Day
“My Higher Power is a feminist and has a fantastic sense of humor. She knows me better than I know myself and loves me to pieces. The longer I’m sober, the more I turn to her for guidance
very well said! I needed that thank you!
