Similar to 24hrs - I am no more 'deserving' than other alcoholics that have failed to get sober. It is only through God's Grace (I heard at a service once : Grace upon Grace upon Grace and that's so true for what has happened in my life) I have done MY part (meetings, willingness, stepwork, etc) but that is miniscule in comparison to the part God has played, the main part, His Grace that got me sober. I cannot do it by myself. God knows I tried! He gives me a daily reprieve, based on my spiritual condition. I am so grateful that I have been blessed with His Grace...I think this is why many of us get 'uncomfortable' when non-A's congratulate us on our sobriety (my parents for example) and they're sooo proud...I always say but it's not me, it's God's Grace. I did my part sure but I am sober through God's Grace. And how can I take credit for that?
I am so very grateful today!
