One is happy as the result of one’s own efforts.— George Sand
Happiness is not an accident. It comes from following the spiritual voice found in each of us.
This isn’t always easy. Sometimes, the voice tells us to do things we’re afraid of. For Example, if we’re lonely and the voice tells us to call someone on our phone list, we may make excuses to not do it. Again, the voice may say, “Just make the call. It will be okay.” If we follow the
voice, we will find happiness. The spiritual voice inside us speaks of care and love. It will never tell us to hurt others or ourselves. It’s our Higher Power’s voice . It’s what Step Eleven calls “conscious contact.” If we follow this guiding voice, it will lead us to happiness.
Prayer for the Day: I pray that I’ll come to know my Higher Power by listening to the spiritual voice in me.
Action for the Day: Today, I’ll meditate and listen to my higher power gentle voice within.

I spent most of my life in a black pit of depression…Unable to get out of it…I tried church, Doctors, Medication(prescribed & non-prescribed) & finally booze & pills…The end was so near so many times…I tried to bring it on but it just would not come…
Today is very different for me…I have found the still soft voice of God in my life…Just as the above article mentions that little voice that tells me what to do…The difference is today I am quiet enough to hear it & confident enough to follow it…I know it will not lead me wrong…Clean house & trust God is my motto…It can be yours too…If you get involved with the 12 step program that deals with your addiction…I work with men who have trouble with liquor, pills, cocaine, sex, even cigarettes…All are finding relief…Not from me but from their higher power & the 12 steps…Give them a try

I have been told the 12 steps to recovery take dedication and trust. Some may fumble in the beginning, but once an honest approach is applied, it will do wonders for you.
When the approach to healing is like a con and just for show, failure is the likely outcome. This type of behavior also lessens other addicts hope to heal themselves. I have seen this happen and it is awful.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring and hope filled story.
