Starting Each Meal with a Prayer: A Journey to Recovery

Oa recovery is literally meal by meal, and I have to remember to be ever vigilant of my disease.
Imagine starting every meal with a heartfelt prayer, seeking strength and guidance. In this episode of 'Promise of Recovery', host Lauren Lansrud opens up about her personal journey with the third-step prayer from the A.A. Big Book. This simple yet powerful practice has become a cornerstone in her path to abstinence.
Lauren shares how reciting, 'God, I offer myself to thee to build with me and do with me as thou wilt...', has helped her stay vigilant against the grip of addiction. Through morning meditations and this prayer, she finds the resilience needed to face daily challenges. Lauren also candidly discusses the struggles of relapse, often tied to skipping this vital morning ritual. She highlights the immense support found in 12-step programs like O.A., emphasizing that recovery is a collective effort.
The episode wraps up with an encouraging message to join the next meeting and keep hope alive, one day at a time. If you're seeking inspiration and practical advice on your recovery journey, this episode offers a blend of personal insights and actionable steps.
