Recovery
the Courage to be myself,
the Serenity to accept myself.
"A place to share our experience, strength, and hope"
aquaintances are like fallen leaves...found everywhere,
friends are like jewels...precious but rare!
God, grant me the Wisdom
to know myself,
We surrender to win...
We suffer to get well...
We die to live...
We give it away to keep it!

"Y.A.N.A."
you are not alone!
"I put my hand in yours..."
...and together we can
do what we could never
do alone! No longer is
there a sense of hopeless-
ness, no longer must we
each depend upon our
own unsteady willpower.
We are all together now,
reaching out our hands for
power amd strength
greater than ours, and as
we join hands, we find
love and understanding
beyond our wildest
dreams.

"Recovery Prayer"
from the 12 Step Prayer Book, by Bill Pittman
Today and every day, I pray to be ever mindful that recovery is the most important thing in my life, without exception. I may believe my job, or my home life, or one of many other things, comes first. But if I don't stay with the Program, chances are I won't have a job, a family, sanity, or even life. If I am convinced that everything in life depends on my recovery, I have a much better chance of improving my life. If I put other things first, I am only hurting my chances.
For Those Who Have Relapsed...
O God of all mercies & comfort, Who helps us in time of need, we humbly ask You to behold, visit, & relieve those who have relapsed for whom our prayers are desired. Look upon them with eyes of Your mercy; comfort them with a sense of Your goodness; preserve them from the temptations of their addiction; & give them patience under their affliction. In Your time, restore them to the Program & physical, mental, & spiritual health. And help them, we pray, to listen, believe & do Your will.
