Mark S – How do we find the discipline to practice daily prayer and meditation?

Mark S, a member of the SoberQ community, opens up about the challenges and triumphs of integrating daily prayer and meditation into his recovery journey. With honesty and a touch of humour, Mark explores how these practices have become essential in his life. He admits that initially, he wasn't quite sure how to pray effectively but embraced the process with an open heart.

For him, the willingness to engage in these spiritual exercises was rooted in the realisation of his own struggles with alcohol and the desire for a more manageable life. Mark discusses how Step 11 acts as a crucial part of his daily routine, framing his day from morning to night with prayer and meditation. He emphasises that consistency is key, likening it to bookends that support his 24-hour living approach.

This structured practice allows him to find comfort in sobriety, rather than discomfort, as he taps into an inner resource he never knew existed. Through this disciplined lifestyle, Mark finds himself better equipped to carry out the 12th step - sharing the message with others who are still struggling. His journey highlights the transformative power of spiritual practices in recovery, offering hope and guidance for anyone on a similar path.
