Butterfly House

02/13/2026

Step One--We admitted we were powerless over drugs--that our lives had become unmanageable. The First Step doesn't guarantee a life free of worry, sadness, isolation, despair, and all of the problems that using has created for you. But the First Step does give you relief; relief from the stress of trying to control everything. It will give you the chance to experience the calm of surrender. Stepping into The Program means finding the part of you that loves yourself enough not to allow things to get worse.

I pray to remember that my worth is not determined by my show of outward strength, or the volume of my voice, or the thunder of my accomplishments. It is to be seen, rather, in terms of the nature and depth of my commitments, the genuineness of my friendships, the sincerity of my purpose, the quiet courage of my convictions, my capacity to accept life on life's terms, and my willingness to continue "growing up". This I pray. --12 Step Prayer book

Higher Power, when I was using, I trusted no one. I lied about everything. Cheating was a way of life. The only thing I could trust was my addiction. When I discovered that was the biggest lie of all, that was the greatest day of my life. Thank You , God, for helping me put my trust in The Program, the Steps, my sponsor, my group, and You, my Higher Power. Little by little, day by day, I am learning to trust again. And the greatest blessing is that others are learning to trust me. --12 Step Prayer Book

This I pray, Higher Power: I will surrender to your will today, which brings me peace and joy that makes all things new. I no longer have that trampled look of someone forced to remember every mistake he or she has made. I no longer hide under that blanket of regrets. My daily surrender to You and the fellowship that surrounds me leads me away from darkness and into the wonderful light of Your wisdom. --12 Step Prayer Book

Our Creator--show us the way of patience, tolerance, and kindness. Grant us power in our love, strength in our humility, clarity in our thinking, purity in our zeal, sincerity in our purpose, kindness in our laughter, value in our gratitude, compassion in our friendships, and Your peace in our hearts at all times.

Help me this day, Higher Power, to run with patience the race that is set before me. May neither opposition without, nor discouragement within, divert me from my progress in recovery. Inspire in me strength of mind, willingness, and acceptance, that I may meet all fears and difficulties with courage and may complete the tasks set before me today.

God, help me work on a positive attitude and outlook in my life. Help me adapt to the real world no matter how different and difficult it seems. During my addiction, I tried to escape reality and live in a world of fantasy. Recovery has taught me that I cannot change the facts of living, but I can change my attitudes towards them. Today I will learn new attitudes towards life's challenges and practice new solutions by working the program. I'm learning to live in the real world with a healthy attitude and outlook. --12 Step Prayer Book
