The Turning Point

Today is a new day. A brand new gift from my Higher Power. A “turning point”. Today I can choose to embrace my new life. I can choose freedom and recovery. God’s protection is always with me when I surrender my life to him. But I can also stand at this same turning point and choose to return to my old ways. I can choose to act out in my addiction. Today I find myself at a turning point. By the grace of God, may I choose his way. May I choose recovery.

Second Step Prayer:
God, I’m standing at the turning point right now. Give me your protection and care as I abandon myself to you and give up my old ways and old ideas, just for today. (Big Book pp 58-59)
