Do not let any prejudice you may have against spiritual terms deter you from honestly asking yourself what they mean to you.
The idea of faith is a very large chunk to swallow when fear, doubt and anger abound in and around me. Sometimes just the idea of doing something different, something I am not accustomed to doing, can eventually become an act of faith if I do it regularly, and do it without debating whether it’s the right thing to do. When a bad day comes along and everything is going wrong, a meeting or a talk with another addict often distracts me just enough to persuade me that everything is not quite as impossible, or as overwhelming as I had thought. In the same way, going to a Celebrate Recovery meeting or talking to a fellow addict are acts of faith: I believe I’m arresting my disease. These are ways I slowly move toward faith in Jesus Christ, my one and only Higher Power.
