The Recovery Prayer #essentialsofrecovery #recovery #prayer #addiction

"We cannot change the nature of the addict or addiction. We can help to change the old lie "Once an addict, always an addict," by striving to make recovery more available. God, help us to remember this difference."

The Literature Prayer or Prayer before writing on one's steps, (esp. steps 4 & 8)
"GOD, grant us knowledge that we may write according to Your Divine precepts. Instill in us a sense of Your purpose. Make us servants of Your will and grant us a bond of selflessness, that this may truly be Your work, not ours-in order that (we ourselves or) no addict, anywhere, need die from the horrors of addiction."
