Gri Kitap Yansīmasī
Our recovery is dependent on our belief in a loving God who cares for us, and will do for us whatever we found impossible for ourselves.
Gray Book, p. 147-148 (Chapter Nine, Lines 33-1)
When we tapped into a Higher Power in the Second Step, we found that this Power did for us what we found impossible for us to do for ourselves. One of the things this Power did for us was that it relieved our obsession to use drugs. This was a supernatural event in our lives, an addict that can stop using drugs, and lose the desire to use. Indeed, this was an abnormal act for an addict, but not impossible for this Supernatural Power most of us call God.
As we progressed through the Steps, we took the action, and we experienced the results. Results that can only be attributed to a Loving, Caring Power outside ourselves. This Recovery process didn't take place by our own accord.
As we progress in our Recovery, we see that it would be impossible for us to accomplish these tasks without this Higher Power. We wouldn't be able to stay Clean.
Without this Higher Power we wouldn't be able to Practice Spiritual Principles in our Lives on a Daily Basis. We get to see ourselves and other members go through crisis in Life and not use. This Belief along with Action that creates Faith, is what restores us to Sanity.
The God of Our Own Understanding is still with us to Help us in our Recovery.
In This Moment: We will acknowledge that the Power that saved us from the horrors of addiction is still with us and can help us do what we can't do for ourselves.
