“We give thanks for our personal relationship with God.” – 12 Step Prayer Book 

At first the whole “God” thing in 12 step rooms really turned me off. “God” meant organized religion to me, and I wanted no part of that. The idea of finding a power greater than myself was intriguing, but I still kept thinking of religion. Plus, it was hard to imagine turning my life over to some intangible entity or energy. My process of finding a higher power took many years, but ultimately it happened for me – thank God! Lol. Today I have an awesome friendship with the God of my understanding and it makes my life 1000 times easier, more peaceful and more fun. When I let God take the front seat of my tandem bike and surrender all control, fully trusting that everything is going to be great… ILML!
