Our hearts were made for God and they will not rest until they rest with God. ~St. Augustine

When we were using, we traveled through life like a ship without a rudder. If we went to one party, we spent the night thinking about what was happening at another party. We might have made plans to do something positive, but then our addiction called to us and we made a change of plans. We usually had no clear path in work, love, or friendship. It was an exhausting existence to constantly be seeking something—something that we may not have even been able to name. In recovery we cannot say this. Our path is clearly laid out in Chemically Dependent Anonymous’ First Edition. It is a twenty-four hour plan based on a connection with our Higher Power. That something that we once sought after was God—the God of our understanding.

I rest, secure in the knowledge that my Higher Power has a plan for me and that path is

clearly covered in the First Edition.

The Twelve Steps are what Father Al G. once described as: "A master plan for living—more accurately, the Master's plan for living.”

∼Chemically Dependent Anonymous P 28
