Why Daily concsious contact

Joy and happiness are directly proportionate to our recovery. Our recovery is proportionately experienced through our relationship with our higher power. Basically the degree of recovery, joy and happiness in our live, is directly related to how in tune we are with our higher power. If you are living a God centered life then you are experiencing happiness and successful recovery. If you are finding difficulty maintaining clean and sober time, and thus not experiencing a lot of joy and happiness. Then you are not living a God centered life. I say this because the 12 step program is first and foremost a spiritual program. Let me make this abundantly clear. There is no spiritual part of the program. The whole program is all spiritual.

Virtually from the beginning of the program, (Step two and Step 3) you were directed to acknowledge that there was a power greater than you. You were further directed to “turn your will and life over” to a God of your understanding. You were then further directed to follow several spiritual principles. In essence to have a God centered life. In doing so we live our lives according to the principles and value systems attributed to our chosen higher power. In doing so we all found a renewed strength and faith. We began to find recovery, as well as a new freedom along with experiencing happiness once more. However as time went on and our natural human tendencies showed themselves, in ways like selfishness, and wanting things our way and when we wanted them. Doubt, fear and overall lack of faith crept in. This usually is a wakeup call to show us how we have strayed from reliance upon our higher power, a lack of trust in our higher power as well as reduced contact with the God of our understanding. This usually shows us that without our god we are nothing. It is a call back to faith and a God centered life. The “return of the prodigal child” if you will.

It is in these times that we see that in our god’s house all is well> that there is a ways and means to things. There is a bigger picture, That if I just do what is right and what is right in front of, based upon spiritual principles , and the teachings of my God. Everything works out to the good. No matter what name you choose to call your God. The principles are all the same—LOVE, HONESTY, CHARITY, TOLERANCE, PATIENCE, and INTEGRITY. These and more, are in all the Sacred and Holy texts. So remember a god centered life is a Happy, Joyous and Free life.
Remember God does not create garbage
