Step by Step
Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023
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 a quality recovery. And our common journey continues. Step by step. — Chris M., 2023
