Prayer and Meditation

Prayer and meditation is an essential to recovery. It is a building block for all things good that are to come in life. Today almost with 2 years in the program of AA/ recovery I still do the same thing that I did my third day in treatment as follows:

Morning:

I hit my knees and pray, "May the obsession be removed from mind and mood altering substances, for the knowledge of God's will and the power to carry it out."

Then I read pages 86, 87, 88 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Then I read a meditation (Daily Reflections, One Day At A Time, Just for Today, Etc.)

Night:

I hit my knees, "Thank God for keeping me clean and sober." Then I go to bed.


I did this same thing this morning and I do the same thing every night.

I know what you are thinking that only Weak people hit their knees, good point, however, I hit my knees for bad so I can hit my knees for good. The same way I used to wake and bake for 30 min to an hour, I spend 15-20 minutes every morning in prayer and meditation.
