When
many hundreds of people are able to say that the consciousness of the Presence
of God is today the most important fact of their lives, they present a powerful
reason why one should have faith. Big Book, p51
When I hear other
people have been abstinent from their addictions for any length of time, I know
there is a Higher Power available to anyone. No human power could relieve my
alcoholism. Family tried to talk me into being 'reasonable'. A common theme
was, "I'll just have this one to steady my nerves" or "I'll just drink a few to
take the edge off", etc. This was my attempt at trying to control something I
am powerless over. Since coming to believe there is a Power who could help
me, I haven't had to take another drink. It has required a daily surrender.
Faith without works is dead. The works for me today are daily service and
surrender of all people, places and things I am powerless over.
Thank
You Higher Power. Thank You for showing Your will for me daily. Thank You for
allowing consequences from my decisions. Thank You for the Love and the
Lessons. Thank You.
