Step Twelve Living The Good Life

We are strengthened to stay free of as we allow God to guide and support us each step of the way.  Each experience of God’s faithfulness deepens our trust and stability as we learn and grow.  Sharing with others and practicing God’s principles in all our affairs is the proven way to experience life at its best.  

We will have a deeply rooted sense of well-being when we understand that it is “progress not perfection” that we seek.  Living in the awareness that God is with us, and having the desire to implement His ways, will strengthen our faith and our desire to honour God in all that we do.  Consistently living this way and truthfully telling our story may impact and encourage others who are trapped in the pit of their addiction.  We may inspire them to turn their own lives around as they identify with us and the place we were at when we came into recovery. 

As we practice the principles we have learned, we will find ourselves drawing closer to God, and the peace and serenity of His love and grace will envelop our entire being.  We will think and feel differently and find positive new ways to behave because we are being guided by the Holy Spirit.  This is the good life the Bible and the 12 Steps speak of, and which help us not to just talk the talk but also to walk the walk.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Thank you for bringing me out of darkness into your wonderful light.  Help me, to walk in the light of your presence.  Help me to shine for you as I humbly and gently share with others how You have changed my life.  Amen
