People in recovery often call themselves miracles. So it is. From nothing, has come something. They are a new creation. When the world came into existence, Big Bang or Genesis, or however, it was a new creation. Something came from nothing. That same creator Power is at work in the addict who recovers. The addict cannot stop bad behavior on their own will power. They cannot become a new person left to themselves. They reach a Bottom. They get to "nothing." Then the miracle. Out of this seeming nothing existence, comes something new. Where did this new person come from? Now that is a miracle. The first creation took seven days. This new one took twelve steps. God is still creating. The new person still does the twelve steps. Once a miracle begins, it is ongoing. So it seems to me.

Well I am not an addict, but can I use the twelve steps to create a miracle in me?
