GRATITUDE

GOD………

Thank you for bringing me back to the road of recovery.

Thank you for not letting me die or give me long suffering,

so I have another chance at a useful life,

full of joy, anticipation and mystery.

Thank you for all my blessings:

for my wonderful mother who gave birth to me 30 years ago,

for my talents,

for my mind,

for my feelings, sad or joyful,

for my friends,

for my sponsors

for my health,

for the newly found laughter

for starting to love myself

for the courage to look inside me

for giving me humility, the ability to be teachable

for the courage to share and give service

for my newly found honesty to myself and others

for my strength, granted by you, that I feel inside me

for the miracles happening right now

for the spiritual connection with my fellow addicts

for the strength and help they give me,

for being able to live in today - finally

for not having to worry anymore,,

for my beautiful recovery home,

for my spoken word art,

for all the people who come into my life to learn,

for the ability to give joy to people by passing on my knowledge,

for being alive, clean, clear and free…. Today

PRAYER

God, stay close to me so I can feel that you are there,

that I am not alone and lost in my Self.

LET

me feel the power of your presence always

the assurance that my life is all right,

the strength to master challenges

the wisdom not to become complacent in my recovery.

REVEAL

to me what is intuitively right,

to master any given situation,

to recognize dangerous situations on the spot,

to take only serious what is, and to know the difference.

HELP

me to rid myself of the demons of my past,

to be full of joy and free of worry,

to have laughter and good friendships,

to take life with a light heart.

GIVE

me the courage to take chances,

to step out and recognize my full potential,

to speak my mind without fear,

to show love, where no love is.

SHOW

me glimpses of a higher consciousness,

the spirit of an eagle soaring above and seeing the bigger picture,

a life that is not burdened with resentments and anxiety,

your love, so I can absorb it fully and pass it on to others.

GRANT

me strength to overcome difficulties,

to accept my fellow men as they are,

to accept me, my dark past, my failures,

to accept and remember the joyous times of my past.

SHINE

your light and love onto my son, so that he may have self confidence, deal with the burdens I put upon him,

your love onto my mother, that she may nor suffer from demons of her past, that she may understand and accept me and our relationship

your grace upon my Anonymous group members, so they may be joyous and free, staying on the road of recovery and learn a new freedom.

Your grace upon my friends and enemies, so my friends will stay with me and my enemies will turn into my friends.

Your grace upon the World!

AMEN!!!
