Listen to guidance and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms; in dreams, in times of quiet solitude and in the words and deeds of wise elders and friends. ∼The Sacred Tree

Many of us come into the rooms with a chip on our shoulders about God and especially about organized religion. Advice we hear includes: borrow our God, use a doorknob, use the group, or wait and see; don’t look for God—let God find you. As alcoholics and addicts, we have well-established track records of being untrustworthy and unreliable. However, in the matter of choosing a Higher Power that works for us, only we are trusted with that precious and awesome responsibility. We are not told to whom to pray, whose path to follow, or to what religion to subscribe. The freedom to choose a Higher Power that works for us is that vital act of accepting trust that frees us from the bonds of active addiction.

I am grateful for the gift of choice that gave

me the God of my understanding.

As long as we remain willing, remain teachable, we will be able to accept this new way of living, and our growth and success will be limited only by our imaginations.
