ACCEPTING POWERLESSNESS
ACCEPTING POWERLESSNESS
There is nothing negative in the First Step of the program, where we admit that we are powerless over our addiction and our lives. Powerlessness is not weakness; it simply recognizes that power is an attribute of God, not humans. We are powerless in and of ourselves. But when we look to the one who has all power, we can be set free-no longer bound by an addiction that does not love us. Have I tapped the source of all power? Higher Power, help me to joyfully accept my powerlessness over my addiction, knowing that this will set me free. -Day by Day
