| What 12 Step literature says about Step Two |
|
Hazelden Meditations Step Two speaks of believing. For many years we had given up believing in ourselves, in a Higher Power, and in others. Now our program tells us to believe in love. We are lovable, and we can love others without hurting them. Of course, believing is an important part of recovery. To believe means to put aside our doubts. To believe means to have hope. Believing lets the healing happen. All of this is how we get ready to let in the care of our Higher Power.
I pray for the courage to believe. I'll not let doubt into my heart. I can recover. I can give myself totally to this simple program. |
