    And wisdom to know the difference.


    It works. But you have to work at it and share it. And, if you practice these steps you should have the spiritual awakening that will bring the relief from alcohol and the addition to it.


    Remember that the only way to keep it is to give it away. This is where the spiritual awakening shines. We now know that service and working with others is the best way to keep our center in the program and maintain our Daily Reprieve.

    Daily inventory and quiet meditation with a God of our understanding keeps us grounded and on the path. 

    Prayer is talking to God and meditation is listening to God.


    Pg 87 - Conlude your mediation with a prayer. But this is prayer for help with what we need, not a request or shopping list of what we want. There is no bargain, or fox hole prayers here.

    And when we are willing to do his will we will not be caught short on what we can achieve or accomplish.


    The 11th Step Prayer is: “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.” -- 11th Step Prayer

    The spiritual experience should be upon us if we have finished step 9, but we need to understand that we only have today for this reprieve from alcohol. We need to continue our

    daily maintenance to make sure we don't side back.


    We need to continue to make amends when necessary and keep our side of the street clean. And we can do that anytime of the day.

    Additional promises on page 84 and 85. We are not fighting ourselves and we can feel the problem has been removed. This is the fit spiritual condition.


    10th step prayer:

    God, please help me watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment and fear. When these crop up in me, help me to immediately ask you to remove them from me and help me discuss these feelings with someone. Help me to quickly make amends if I harmed anyone and help me to resolutely turn my thoughts to someone I can help. Help me to be loving and tolerant of everyone today. Amen.
