~ CONNECTION ~
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
We all have God's phone number but the
only number we tend to use is 911. We
only call in an emergency instead of
calling just for daily connection with
God.

When I first came into the program, my
goal was to lose weight. It’s still my
goal, but now it’s not the main focus of
my program of recovery.
I’ve learned that my spiritual and
emotional fitness are every bit as
important as my physical fitness. In
fact, I’m finding that for me the
spiritual aspect is the most
important. If my relationship to the God
of my understanding is in order, then
everything else seems to fall into
place. If I leave my Higher Power out of
my life, then everything falls apart.
There’s an old program saying, "If you
feel apart from God, then who moved?"
Whenever I feel like God is a million
miles away, I know it’s because I moved
away from Him, not the other way
around. When I am feeling separated from
God, I see my disease of compulsion
start to take over. That’s why it’s very
important to me to maintain a conscious
contact with my Higher Power. If I let
things get too far out of hand and I
start to move away from Him, then I need
to pray. But my intention is to keep in
constant touch with God so that a
spiritual emergency isn’t the only
reason I check in with Him.
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
I will do all I can on a daily basis to connect with my Higher Power.
