An Inner Strength

"What we all have in common is that the program helps us to find an inner strength that we were previously unaware of - where we differ is in how we identify the source."

Final Thought:

"In working the program, we came to a better understanding of spirituality and the part it plays in our recovery...With time, we came to recognize that we could stay sober and enjoy full membership in the Fellowship, regardless of our beliefs."
