I asked God to remove the obsession from me when I first cleaned up. I didn't know about anything else then I went to meetings and started doing the serenity prayer, now a few years later but 7 months clean I pray, meditate,serenity prayer and say the 3rd and 7 th step prayer. All in one!! I am truly blessed and loved by my HP
how you do it isn't as important as whether you do it. actually, when i'm on top of things i'm usually in a continuous state of prayer or "awareness" as i call it. all of it takes practice. gm
For some reason the poll posted without my finishing the answers.
As for me,
I tr to thank my higher power for keeping me sober and I usually say the serenity prayer. I need it with children and an addiction. IT seems to help me cope with my children when my patience is running low. I will be honest, I do not get on my knees like the program says to do but I do try to think of what I can do for others and pray for their well being.
I guess my praying continues throughout the day, it isn;t just one moment in the morning or evening. Should it be?
your poll is lacking answers i pray and meditate ! -drifter0213
hi. i guess i still pray the same as i did when i was still in detox. it's pretty simple, but i don't think the depth of my prayers are nearly as important as their presence. i give thanks for another day, ask for forgiveness for my wrongs, the knowledge of god's will and the power, willingness, strength and desire to carry it out. in addition i often ask for things specific to others and their well being, but never for myself. i try to do this as a minimum on a daily basis, and also use daily meditations from various recovery and non-recovery sources. so far it's been working for me. take care, gm
