The Power to Carry That Out

We were together on a retreat--an opportunity to do an annual self-review, part of my working the Tenth Step--when I said to my sponsor: "I am in the worst spiritual state I can remember being in for a long time. All the joy I had in sobriety seems gone. I'm alcohol-free, but so what? I am starting to wonder if all this effort is worth it. This spiritual bottom is even worse than the bottom that brought me to recovery."
