Empowered Liberation, Step 1, Part 1

Empowered Liberation

Step 1

We acknowledge we have power over addiction, and we are aware we have unwittingly bound ourselves to it; therefore, we accept the responsibility to mindfully enter the path toward liberation.

         We realize the power of liberation when we continuously and courageously seek to understand our suffering; and from that place of understanding we move forward with purpose and intention, consciously changing how we speak and act, revitalizing our lifestyle and livelihood, working with vigor and effort, while practicing mindful concentration and focus on our steps. When we slip back into old patterns or make mistakes, we recenter our attention, evaluate our error, and get back on the path to continue the journey with greater wisdom than when we started.
