July 29th – A Power Greater Than Myself
“Once we admitted our powerlessness, we had to find a power greater than ourselves by which we could live.”
– Life with Hope, second edition, page 5
I admit: my utter failure at life under the crushing obsession for marijuana.
I seek: a solution to freedom from my addiction.
I surrender: my incapable willfulness and confining judgments.
I accept: the guidance and success of those who preceded me.
I embrace: the journey toward a loving presence in my life.
I live humbly now by the principles of the Steps in service of the Greater Power.
Final thought: Today, I put principles into action.
