The Idea of Faith

Do not let any prejudice you may have against spiritual terms deter you from honestly asking yourself what they mean to you.

The idea of faith is a very large chunk to swallow when fear, doubt and anger abound in and around me. Sometimes just the idea of doing something different, something I am not accustomed to doing, can eventually become an act of faith if I do it regularly, and do it without debating whether it’s the right thing to do. When a bad day comes along and everything is going wrong, a meeting or a talk with another addict often distracts me just enough to persuade me that everything is not quite as impossible, or as overwhelming as I had thought. In the same way, going to a Celebrate Recovery meeting or talking to a fellow addict are acts of faith: I believe I’m arresting my disease. These are ways I slowly move toward faith in Jesus Christ, my one and only Higher Power.
