TO PLOP, PLOP IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO SEEK RELIEF -

"At this point,

we begin to feel

the pain of living with-

out drugs or anything to

replace them. The pain for-

ces us to seek a Power great-

er than ourselves that can

relieve our obsession

to use." (The Big

Book, p. 63)

THE THIRD STEP PRAYER - part II

"Take away

my difficulties,

that victory over

them may bear wit-

ness to those I would

help of Thy Power,Thy

Love, and Thy Way

of life. May I do Thy

will always!" (Over-

eaters Anon.,

p. 13)

"To pity

distress is

but human; to

relieve it is Godlike."

- Horace Mann (1796 - 1859) U.S., education reformer for public schools



HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.

Zonr Suggestions:

Find a quiet place while you put aside all pre-judgments and open yourself up to the Universal Truths above that unite spiritual traditions from around the world. You may want to replace alcohol & drugs with your own struggles with smoking, food, sex, money, rage, work, or even love, in order to make each SFZ a closer, personal fit.

To receive your own SFZs each day.
