Leap, and the net will appear.

I’m an analyzer. Given the opportunity,

I can analyze something to the point the

original context has been lost. This was

exactly what I did when I was first

introduced to the Twelve Step recovery

program. With each Step, I tried to

discover a hidden meaning, an excuse not

to work it. I spent more energy not

doing the program than I ever would have

following it.
When I finally made the leap into that

first Step, my life began changing

direction from the downward trend it was

in. It was a leap of faith, and the net

of my Higher Power caught me. This net

will not break, nor will it fall. As I

discover truths about myself that enable

me to move forward in life and become a

better person, I need the safety of that

net of faith.

ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
I will take a leap of faith towards my recovery, knowing I’ll be safe, and the miracle will happen.
