Sobriety Is for Anyone
Our Higher Power and creation treat all equally.
Sobriety is available for anyone who will do the work.
The principles of recovery seem empty of power.
Yet, they never fail to provide when we learn to surrender.
Tonight, we talk about how Sobriety is for Anyone.
Our very own Buddy C has recently published a book entitled
Powerless but not Helpless
A Recovery Interpretation of the Tao Te Ching
81 Essential Meditations That Can Change Your Life!
As Buddy wrote in his preface, “In Twelve-step recovery, finding a “God of our understanding” who helps with our addiction can be challenging. The process of surrender to a Power Greater than myself is difficult, at best, and impossible for some. In hindsight, I see that a lack of surrender kept me in a cycle of relapse for over six years. My difficulty was how to move from a belief that did not relieve my alcoholism to actions that did.”
Verse 5 – Sobriety Is for Anyone
Our Higher Power and creation treat all equally.
Sobriety is available for anyone who will do the work.
The principles of recovery seem empty of power.
Yet, they never fail to provide when we learn to surrender.
