Stinkin' Thinkin'

They are able because they think they are able.
--Virgil

For me, addiction was full of doubt.
I stopped believing in myself.
My thoughts had turned to "stinkin' thinkin'. "
I didn't believe in much of anything.
I didn't take risks.
I always looked for the easier, softer way.

In recovery, I started to believe again.
I believed in the program.
I believed in a Higher Power.
I came to believe in people.

And, over time, I believed in myself again.

I was able to stay sober because I believe, because I take risks.

As I stay sober, I can face almost anything - with the help of others and the God of my understanding.

Belief Without Evidence

My Creator, faith is belief without evidence.
Today, give me the faith.
Let me trust that You are running my life.
Let me know You are in charge of all things.
Let my mind not wonder;
let me stand strong on Your path today.
