The second step offers a way out...it offers hope. He discusses the fantasy of recovery that everyday we get better. We all understand God differently. Tom suggests looking for God in all things, and suggest ways to “notice God”. How to meditate? What works, what does not work.Try some of Tom’s approaches to meditation. The retreat concludes with a review of the tenth step using the Examen developed by Ignatius of Loyola as a way to find God in all things. (06/14)
