I was already miserable at the end of
our street, little corner of the world
with 7 yrs sobriety and family when
I looked to the skies and prayed to
the heavens, to God that I will do
whatever YOU, my HP, want me to do.
That I would drop everything where I was
to follow YOU.
We transferred to Houston leaving
behind my familiarity and comfort
zone, AA family and support to be
where I must have needed to be at
that time in my life.
I immediately went to work locating
my AA meetings because I knew that
if I wanted to remain sober under all
circumstances I needed to connect to
AA and get my butt to meetings and
continue to incorporate an effective
program of recovery taught to me.
10 yrs in Houston, a nice city, but
would never be my home, I remained
sober but never forgot where I came
from and longed to return home one
day.
Sue enough, God, took care of me
every step of the way, given me what
I needed at each time until He finally
granted me a ticket back home to
BR where I never wanted to leave in
the first place.
I learned that things would never
happen in my time, but rather in His,
so I did my footwork and prayed for
His will to work in me.
I am still amazed at how I'm always
being taken care of as long as I do
my footwork in recovery.
You will be too.
