When we were in active addiction, our thoughts focused on ourselves. Our prayers, if we prayed at all, were to ask God for solutions for our life and to correct our mistakes. Now, after learning about the Twelve Steps, we realize that life is not all about us. We can rely on God for our daily needs and our prayers can be focused on how we can help others. It is a new day. This is how we have become spiritually awakened from self-centeredness and insecurity that was at the core of our disease. Rather than always wanting to "get", we can give.
