Dear God, be good to me.
The sea is so wide and my boat is so small.
Sailor's Prayer

When I first came into the Twelve Step
program, I felt overwhelmed. Life
overwhelmed me. My eating disorders
overwhelmed me. My inner pain
overwhelmed me. Before I walked into my
first meeting, I felt very alone.
My Higher Power has been good to
me. When I entered my first meeting, I
learned I was not alone. As I began to
work the Twelve Steps, I learned that,
while I had a lot of healing and
learning to do, I would not be doing it
alone. I have many friends who help me,
but most of all, I have a relationship
with my Higher Power that assures me
constantly that I am loved.
Today, I don't often feel
overwhelmed. When I do, I turn to my
Higher Power and my friends, all of whom
help me to focus on doing the best thing
for my mental, emotional and physical
health.
ONE DAY AT A TIME . . .
I will remember
that even when I feel alone,
I have the love and help of my Higher Power.
