Daily Reflections - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

AN OPEN MIND

True humility and an open mind can lead us to faith . . .

TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 33

My alcoholic thinking led me to believe that I could control my drinking, but I couldn't. When I came to A.A., I realized that God was speaking to me through my group. My mind was open just enough to know that I needed His help. A real, honest acceptance of A.A. took more time, but with it came humility. I know how insane I was, and I am extremely grateful to have my sanity restored to me and to be a sober alcoholic. The new, sober me is a much better person than I ever could have been without A.A.

Thanks Carol!

Today is my biological birthday - and I had to work so couldn't go to a meeting.

That's great food for thought tonight!
