The reason why birds can fly and we can’t is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.
~ James M. Barrie ~
Blind faith in a 12 Step Program was all many of us had to our credit when we began recovery. Today, we know it is our most valuable asset in the search for spiritual progress. Faith gives us an open mind, something we will always need. With the acceptance of our Program’s living principles comes the gift of belief.
The proof that our Program works comes plentifully through all that we hear and read. We see God working through us and through others in our Program. This is all the evidence we need for faith that God exists. Without an early child-like faith, the road toward peace of mind can be discouragingly rough.
I must believe that good things can happen and have faith that they will Let me not forget that the absence of faith is despair.
