Thought of the day       

 "We eventually redefine our beliefs and understanding to the point where we see that our greatest need is for knowledge of God's will for us and the strength to carry that out." 

"Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thouroughly follow our Path."

Ryan Foley and JT did a great in their Shares at Bigelow

 The greatest damage done to us by our addiction was the damage done to our spirituality.

Our primary motivation was dictated by our disease: to get, to use, and to find ways and means to get more. Enslaved by our overwhelming need for drugs, our lives lacked purpose and connection. We were spiritually bankrupt.

Sooner or later, we realize that our greatest need in recovery is

 "for knowledge of God's will for us and the strength to carry that out."

 There, we find the direction and sense of purpose our addiction had hidden from us. In our God's will we find freedom from self-will. No longer driven only by our own needs, we are free to live with others on an equal footing.

There's nothing wrong with outward success. But without the spiritual connection offered by the program, our greatest need in recovery goes unmet,

 regardless of how "successful" we may be.
 

Committment for the Day

 I will seek the fulfillment of my greatest need: a vital, guiding connection with the

 God of my understanding.
