Step by Step
Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021
Today, focus on making the faith I have been given as a gift of intelligence rather than an emotional one. As an alcoholic, my emotions are usually in excess - and anything in excess is risky, including faith if I ground it in emotion. By striving for an intelligent faith, I hope to remove the influence of my unsteady emotions - a faith in which I have unconditional trust in my Higher Power as opposed to one in which I let my feelings challenge His will. And with an intelligent faith rather than an emotional one, hopefully those things I cannot control can be more faithfully surrendered to my Higher Power and without me taking them back. Hopefully, then, I can take a step toward the goal of total faith, hope and charity. And our common journey continues. Step by step. - Chris M., 2021
Hello, my name is Kimberly. I have 29 days clean from heroin. I wanted to tell u how amazingly inspiring ur blogs are for me. They feel so familiar and also so comforting, bc I know I am not alone. I will admit, I am struggling with finding a higher power, do u have any advice? My family was never religious, so "god" or my higher power is hard for me to connect with. Thank u ahead of time for taking time to respond if u do decide too.
