12 Steps of Recovery

  1. We admitted we were powerless over ____ that our lives had become unmanageable.
  2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
  3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
  4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
  5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
  6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
  7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
  8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
  9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
  10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
  11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
  12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Here we are, Monday has rolled around again. The trucker is just returning to the rig he parked on Fri night. Lights are flicking on around the neighborhood. The weekend has ended. It is time to begin again.

Ven. Matt Talbot, St. Maximilian Kolbe… pray for the alcoholics in my life. Bring them to Christ, lay their names at his feet. May they have their conversion moment and walk the road of sobriety. We pray… God of mercy, we bless you in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who ministered to all who came to him. Give your strength to all of those struggling with addiction and substance abuse. Enfold them in your love and restore them to the freedom of God’s children.

Please remember you are not responsible for your alcoholic. You have control only over you. Let them fall, let them fail. Find an alanon group or someone who has been there. Find help for yourself.
