THE BEAUTY OF THE STEP

The beauty of the Second Step is that the restoration to sanity which the Step asks us to believe is possible has already begun. Sanity is living life on life's terms: it is accepting reality. As recovering people, the great reality for us is that we are not able to drink alcohol, use drugs, or engage in compulsive behavior. By admitting our powerlessness in the First Step, we have given up the insane idea that we can drink, use, eat, or gamble like non-addicts. Our restoration to sanity has already begun.

Another reality for us is that addiction is a spiritual disease which requires a spiritual awakening. That awakening, too, is already under way. By surrendering in the First Step and accepting that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity in the Second, we have already begun the journey that will lead us to that spiritual awakening. And to a restoration to sanity.
