PRINCIPLE OF PURITY

"To sum up about sex: We earnestly pray for the right ideal, for guidance in each questionable situation, for sanity, and for strength to do the right thing" Alcoholics Anonymous, page 70

“Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22

For what it's worth: Lust fed my alcoholism and nearly devoured my recovery. Only the grace of God could have instilled in me a pure heart - and only in Alcoholics Anonymous. There I found the necessary Steps and a wise sponsor. In sobriety I have to be open and honest with myself, my sponsor, and my Higher Power about my actions and my motives. Once I fearlessly inventoried and admitted this defect in Steps Four and Five, I have to be persistent with Steps Six and Seven, seeking willingness to be rid of the demon, fiercely praying for guidance and strength to do the right thing. I avoid those who do not support my efforts, and I thank God I have found so many in our Fellowship who are good examples practicing our principle of purity.

God bless you.
