Believing in a Higher Power changes our perspective.
The days of feeling lost and hopeless are behind us. We spent so long struggling with the chaos caused by our loved ones’ drinking and lying. We tried to control the situation, but it never worked—and it still won’t.
Even though we sometimes slip back into old habits, most days we choose a different path. We follow the program, leaning on the first three Steps to stop focusing on someone else’s behavior and start focusing on our own.
By accepting that we can’t control everything, believing in a Higher Power, and trusting it to guide us, we find clarity and peace. Today, we’re no longer lost.

Today’s Affirmation:
I am so lucky that I have a greater Power that I can call on today. i can be certain that I’ll be taken care of.
Since 1954, A Life of My Own has been a key resource for alcoholics in recovery worldwide, with over nine million copies in print. This revised “little book” offers daily reflections, meditations, and prayers to support a clean and sober life, with practical spiritual guidance for everyday living.
Karen Casey, also the author of Each Day a New Beginning for women, she has spent over 20 years speaking on spirituality, relationships, and personal growth. Her own recovery from addiction started in Twelve Step groups more than 30 years ago, and she’s passionate about helping others in those same groups.
