The main objective of Step Seven is to get out of ourselves and strive for achieving the will of our Higher Power. Our will didn't work.
Gray Book, p. 49-50 (Step Seven, Lines 36, 1-2)
As addicts, we became our own worse enemy. For years, we locked ourselves up in our own self-made prisons. Against our will we let our disease out to control our Lives.
Needless to say, we made a real mess of our Lives. Active addiction became a destructive force in our Lives and in the Lives of others. Our will was detrimental to Life itself.
Our best made plans was the Admission to Narcotics Anonymous. After arriving to Narcotics Anonymous, we realized that most of our pain was self-inflicted. In Narcotics Anonymous we're introduced to a Spiritual Program.
The Program laid out a blueprint for Living and a road-map for Recovery. We became Aware that we were the hindrance for a Higher Power to work in our Lives. The First Three Steps removes us out of the way.
We now had to take further Steps to make God, as we understood it, an action figure in our daily Lives. We had to Surrender Totally and Completely to the Spiritual Principles of Narcotics Anonymous. We Practice Honesty by Aligning our will and our Lives to our Higher Power's Will. Asking for Help resulted in Humility.
We were no longer our own obstacle. Being Human we will, of course, wander.
We ask the God of Our Own Understanding, to Forgive us when we fall short. Humility keeps our feet on this Spiritual Path. Our Third Step reminds us that our Decision to ask for God's Help is our Greatest Source of Strength and Courage.
In This Moment: We will get out of ourselves. We will let the God Of Our Understanding, and the Spiritual Principles of Narcotics Anonymous, work in our Lives.
