Open Mind
STEP
TWO: Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves
could restore us to sanity.
"Take
it easy. The hoop you have to jump through is a lot
wider than you think ... First, Alcoholics Anonymous
does not demand that you believe anything.
All of its Twelve Steps are but suggestions.
Second, to get sober and to stay sober, you don't
have to swallow all of Step Two right now ... Third, all
you really need is a truly open mind."

for Today -- A Daily Devotional
**********************************
We all have to admit that up to the
point in our lives that we were active in addiction, we
were not doing things that produced positive results.
We find AA and the steps -- and most of all God.
Although the tenets of AA say “higher power”
- the truth is that it is all about God.
He is the one that makes it all come together and
He is the one that restores us to our rightful place in
the kingdom.
To succeed in the program, requires a
relationship with the true God and living by the power
of Jesus, trusting in His name.
“By
faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and
know was made strong.
It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes
through him that has given this complete healing to him,
as you can all see.”

Acts
3:16

”Two are better than one, because they
have a good reward for their toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up the other;
but woe to one who is alone and falls
and does not have another to help”
-- Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

this message to other alcoholics!
You
can help when no one else can."
