“Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps...”
Step Twelve
“How will I know when I have had a spiritual awakening?” For
many of us, a spiritual awakening comes gradually. Perhaps our first
spiritual awareness is as simple as a new appreciation for life. Maybe
one day we’ll suddenly discover the sound of birds singing early in the
morning. The simple beauty of a flower may remind us that there is a
Power greater than ourselves at work around us.
Often, our spiritual awakening is something that grows stronger
over time. We can strive for more spiritual awareness simply by living
our lives. We can persist in efforts to improve our conscious contact
through prayer and meditation on a daily basis. We can listen within
for the guidance we need. We can question other addicts about their
experiences with spirituality. We can take time to appreciate the world
around us.
Just for today: I will reflect on the spiritual
awakenings I have experienced. I will strive to be God-conscious. I
will take time out in the day to appreciate my Higher Power’s handiwork.
