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.
