“With prayer and good intentions, we make our lives sacred and come into balance.”
In our journey of recovery, we recognize that all life is sacred. Today, let us serve with the intention to honor our bodies, minds, and spirits. Through prayer, we can initiate enduring spiritual changes that will guide us toward healing and wellness. We ask to overcome temptation, embracing each challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow. Let us see the world today with a sacred eye, seeking beauty in all things.
Recovery is about treating ourselves with respect and not engaging in self-abuse. In the midst of our struggles, we have often experienced life as a slow erosion of our spirit—a form of self-destruction. By choosing abstinence, we make a commitment to ourselves, creating a space for clarity and reflection. This clarity allows us to evaluate who we have been and who we aspire to be, learning from the collective wisdom found in our Fellowship.
As we honor our sacred journey, we take care of our whole selves—body, mind, and spirit. This holistic approach to well-being is part of the amends we make to ourselves. While professional help can guide us on this path, we must also confront our own tendencies to undermine progress or sabotage our healthy impulses. Remember, progress may involve steps forward and steps back, but every effort counts.
With the support of our community and the wisdom of our Fellowship, we gain the courage to shed guilt, remorse, and shame. Let us reflect today on how we can better care for ourselves. What can we start or stop doing to honor our recovery process? In unity, we will continue to embrace the sacredness of life and deserving of respect as we walk our path of healing together.
