Hi AO, and thanks for another intriguing post.
I don't know if I consider sobriety itself a miracle but I think I consider the process by which I got here to be a miracle. Kind of what you describe in your OP. The fact that, after almost 20 years of drinking---10 of them very destructively---that I was finally able to say, "That's it! I can't fix this on my own and I cannot continue to go on this way either...I need HELP," was indeed a miracle. Some call it surrender and, honestly, I do not have a problem with the word or the concept because, at least for me, it does not necessarily mean you have no free will left or are powerless in other areas of your life.
For me the miracle was asking for help. And receiving it. In spades.
First here, then AA, now both.
And in asking for help for what was the most embarrassing and terrifying thing in my life? Now asking for help on the other stuff is small potatoes.
Sobriety is natural, to my mind. Getting there is the miracle.
Love ya.
