October 2 ------------ --- Keeping faith
"We grasp the limitless strength provided for us through our daily
prayer and surrender as long as we keep faith and renew it."
Basic Text p.44
There are two parts to recovery: getting clean, and staying clean.
Getting clean is comparatively easy because we only have to do it
once. Staying clean is more difficult, requiring attention every day
of our lives. Yet both draw their power from faith.
We got clean on faith. We admitted that addiction was more powerful
than we were, and we stopped trying to fight it on our own. We turned
the battle over to a Power greater than ourselves, and that Higher
Power got us clean. We stay clean each day the same way: on faith.
Just for today, we surrender. Life may be too big for us to tackle on
our own power. When it is, we seek a Power greater than ourselves. We
pray, asking our Higher Power for direction and the strength to
follow it. By exercising and renewing our faith on a daily basis, we
tap the resources we need to live clean, full lives.
There is limitless strength available to us whenever we need it. To
grasp it, all we need to do is keep faith in the Higher Power that
got us clean and keeps us clean.
Just for today: Faith got me clean, and faith will keep me clean.
Today, I will keep faith with my Higher Power. I will renew my
surrender and pray for knowledge and strength.
