"One common theme I hear on the speaker tapes that if you concentrate on working the steps, then work and finances have a way of working themselves out on their own. Has this been true for others?"
What I've discovered is that working the steps has given me the confidence and ability to go for things I may not have in the past. I had always believed that I was a loser and deserved nothing.
I now know that this is not true. I know that God loves me and will look after me, provided that I make an effort as well. It's working out. I've got a good job, a family,and prospects for the future.
Am I rich? Monetarily no. But each day I look into my kids beds, my wife's eyes, and the faces of a room full of special ed students and know that I am wealthy beyond measure.
What it comes down to is: Where's your gold? What is important? The steps have taught me where the real value in life lies.
Peace,
MIke
