The 1939 Blueprint: Two-way prayer in action.
Many people struggle with Step 11 because they approach it without a clear-cut plan. In the "Back to Basics" tradition, we look back to the original 1939 blueprint to understand how the pioneers found a lasting psychic change. If your morning routine feels like it's missing something, it may be time to return to the disciplined "Quiet Time" method that defined early recovery.
"On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead... We ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives."
— Alcoholics Anonymous, Page 86
The original pioneers didn't leave their spiritual condition to chance. They followed a specific, structured path to ensure their "Singleness of Purpose" remained uncompromised. This involved a rigorous set of standards used to filter every thought and action before the day even began.
By applying these "Old School" principles to our morning quiet time, we bridge the gap between just "not drinking" and actually living a life of purpose and effectiveness. This is the foundation that allows us to handle the daily grind with peace and clarity. At Unity for Recovery, we remain dedicated to this original, uncompromised message.
