At least once a day...

"Step Eleven suggests prayer and meditation. We shouldn't be shy on this matter of prayer. Better men than we are using it constantly."
Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Into Action, pg. 85

This is our connection to God and the remembrance of where we never want to back to, on an at least once daily (preferably more frequently) occurrence. Always be grateful and humbled by the Grace of God for you still being here, functional and whole. The best times are upon waking or before turning in at the end of your day, but it is best to be grateful whenever good things happen or points you in the right direction instead of into harms way. It doesn't have to be a long, drawn out affair, simply be thankful for the chance(s) you have been given.

Hi Glenn,
I am also a recovering alcoholic. I have 109 days today. I learned this time after many attempts what it really means to turn your life and will over to God. He has been working in my life the last 2 months by teaching me how I must always turn to Him. My life is in shambles but He is getting me through it by giving me strength, patience and an ever growing faith. I am also writing a blog in hopes of helping others see how much strength and hope you can have when you look up to the one and only Higher power, Jesus Christ.
