DDA Members Share their Experience on Step 11:
“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as understand Him.”
“I love this Step. It’s a Step that can be worked from day one, and with practice and experience of doing it, became an invaluable aid to my recovery.
I’ve never believed in a supernatural God, so when I first came to 12 Step fellowships I thought that this Step wasn’t ever going to be that useful to me. I can say now though, that prayer and meditation work even if like me you don’t believe in a supernatural God.
I pray for a day free from my old addictions and habits at the beginning of every day. I usually try to meditate every day too. I especially try to meditate when I have to do something challenging, and/or when I’m experiencing strong emotions or intrusive thoughts.”
“I have experienced a spiritual awakening through prayer and meditation at the priory in Ticehurst and my concious contact with God our father and godess our mother earth , praying for knowledge of their combined will for un earth as is our planet snd the power to carry it out through hardworking, unity and nurturing every person every animal and especially pacha mama herself. Amen fellowships I thought that this Step wasn’t ever going to be that useful to me. I can say now though, that prayer and meditation work even if like me you don’t believe in a supernatural God.
