Our Literature tells us that what was appropriate to one phase of Recovery may not be for another. In this Journey of Recovery, with the Help of our Higher Power, each other, and Working Steps, we need to keep redefining our Truths. Our Gray Book, in our Twelfth Step says, "Everything we know is subject to revision, especially what we know about truth. " One of our first Truths that needed defining was what we defined as Sanity. The bar on the definition of Sanity must constantly be raised. It's no longer just about not using.

Our Third Step bridges that gap, from insanity to Sanity. We are constantly evolving and there's always work to be done. As we recycle through the Steps, they take on a deeper meaning.

Overtime, the Steps seem to be different because we're different. Some of our defects of character appear to have subsided. The Truth is that some defects learn to disguise themselves.

They come out of the closet with different clothes on. They are the same defects just a little more subtle. The Solution is to stay Open-Minded to new ideas about ourselves and others.

We keep developing our God Consciousness in the Eleventh Step. We complete this Conscious Contact through Prayer and Meditation.

We keep studying our Literature, and we continue taking Personal Inventory. Every day is different and so are we. There's always an Opportunity for Growth.

We keep what we have through Spiritual Vigilance.

In This Moment: We will keep re-evaluating what we term as Spiritual. With the Spiritual Principle of Open-mindedness, we will avoid becoming Spiritually complacent.
