Most people living in one day at a time recovery make the simple acknowledgements of needing the help of God, the spirit, or the universe to stay living and participating in this gift called recovery. We might say something like, “God I need your help to be and to stay in recovery and I humbly ask you to help me.” Most of us precede such a request with the acknowledgement of, “Thank you God.” We also acknowledge that there are many people who have helped and still help us to navigate our journeys of recovery and we acknowledge the love, compassion, care and concern they had given to and still give to us. We acknowledge we live in recovery because of their grace. Peace.
