Yes, there is a long period of reconstruction ahead. . . . – Alcoholics Anonymous.
The reconstruction of my life is the prime goal in my recovery as I avoid taking that first drink, one day at a time. The task is most successfully accomplished by working the Steps of our Fellowship.

The spiritual life is not a theory; it works, but I have to live it. Step Two started me on my journey to develop a spiritual life; Step Nine allows me to move into the final phase of the initial Steps which taught me how to live a spiritual life.
Without the guidance and strength of a Higher Power, it would be impossible to proceed through the various stages of reconstruction. I realise that God works for me and through me.
Proof comes to me when I realise that God did for me what I could not do for myself, by removing that gnawing compulsion to drink. I must continue daily to seek God’s guidance. He grants me a daily reprieve and will provide the power I need for reconstruction.
Just for today
I will begin a new pattern in my life: the regular maintenance of my recovery.
