Prayer and Humility
Prayer means different things to different people. A person with six years of sobriety, who was anti-religious, related he prayed even though he did not pray to anyone, he was so desperate to get over his alcoholism. Getting down on my knees was not an admission there was a God, but a way of admitting I was not God. My alcoholic behavior was fueled by my grandiosity that I could control everything. I still am an atheist, but one thing I know for certain is I am not God. I need help to survive and I will accept help. That is something I could never do before.
