for me, prayer and meditataion have opened up new vistas in my journey through the recovery process. coming from a place of non-belief, the fact that i even consider a daily routine of prayer and meditation seems pretty far-fetched. i did however, remain open to the possibility that not only did i have the time to add these to my daily routine, but i would come to find actual benefits from these activities. prayer allows me to stay grateful for what i have been given and to achnowledge the source. meditation allows me the opportunity to start my day with a quiet and serene moment.
i not only get a connection to the divine to start my day, i also get physical and emotional benefits. so for this addict, prayer and meditation have become a selfish way to spend a few minutes daily to maintain what i have been given.
