Dear Higher Power, please help…

I'm lost in this darkness, feeling like I'm drowning in my own shame. Please, I'm on my knees here - just help me want to be sober.

As I breathe in the stillness of this moment, I let go of expectations and allow myself to be present, free from the weight of yesterday's regrets and tomorrow's worries. Softly, I open to the possibility of surrendering my control, acknowledging my powerlessness over the things that plague me.

In quiet stillness, I reach for connection, a thread to guide me through dark nights and uncertain days. Help me see the beauty in struggle, the strength in surrender, and the peace that comes from being vulnerable.

In the quiet of still moments, I find myself drawn back to the depths of what I crave. A refuge from the turmoil that often churns within, I reach out for solace.

I'm not sure how much further I can walk in the dark, my steps feeling hollow and my heart heavy with the weight of my own fears. Is there some place I can stand still, where the noise fades away and I'm no longer running from my own demons?

In the darkness, I search for a light to guide me, a thread to hold on to. Please, help me let go of the weights that chain me and find my way back to life.
