"If the word GOD chases you away, the drugs will bring you
back."- Father Ernie
G.O.D. a.k.a. GOOD ORDERLY DIRECTIONThe God word may cause some addicts to believe this is a
religious program. I was so lost from using drugs; the word God
didn't upset me at all. I was told, if it did, I could use "good
orderly direction" or "group of druggies" to substitute for it. I
had decided I wanted to be clean before I ever read the 3rd step.
My sponsor shared a simple prayer with me that I loved. "Let me,
Let You, Help me." It was the truly godsend. First of all, I
could remember it. It also made me feel better. It was oddly
comforting to me. I like having a practical plan of action, so I
started my day with it. I felt sincere with this prayer, whereas
other prayers seemed awkward or silly; this prayer fit me. In the
morning this prayer was helping me to condition my spirit. I was
an addict. I needed help. I asked for help. I called my sponsor.
I went to a meeting. I did my best to be honest. I was finally
following direction - Good orderly direction.
"All you have to do is know where you’re going. The answers will
come to you on their own accord." - Earl Nightingale
