In a New Life, I have no need for applause. I do have need though of supplying applause for those who desperately work to have freedom from Alcohol. Today, I applaud each of you in your continued pursuit of a New Life. |
Sounds like you got a hold of some of my older inventory, I used to wait outside meetings waiting for folks to ask me to sign their Big Books and sponsor them LOL. Today I take credit for my "sin" The good stuff is God working in and through me, of myself I am nothing, I have conceded that to my innermost self, it goes hand in hand with a current 1st step experience.
Ultimately it is a loving God that restores us and makes us whole again, however, there is a lot of hard work to uncover what has always been within us, anyone pursuing recovery is deserving of support and encouragement, as we all know the path can be narrow and treacherous.
