| The Greatest Gift
The greatest gift ever given to me, was an awakened spirit, the realization that God was in me, of me, all of me.The twelve steps of AA were the medium, pointing me to God, giving me promises of what my new life would look like. As Jim said,God is closer than breathing, and only available in the now.
To be able to transmit this message to a suffering drunk is a gift I give feely to any and all who want it. I do not apologize for my faith. Less than 4 years ago, I was living in an abandoned cabin on a remote island, drinking myself to death, praying for reasons not to pull the trigger, Today, the central fact in my life is that God has and continues to provide for me in ways that are miraculous. When talking to a suffering alcoholic, If I am not talking about the power of God in my life and what I did to access this power, I should remain silent,
This holiday, I pray that all who seek shall find the great reality within. God bless you all on this special evening.
