Re: Faith, Spirituality, Hope

Be,
Thanks for sharing your experience. I can relate - I grew up in a very religious household, and when I began my journey in sobriety I could not see how God and all that could possibly help keep me sober.
My understanding of spirituality now is about connection. I connect to that power, the God of my understanding (whom I don't understand, but she seems ok with that), through introspection, meditation, service to others, and humility.
Sobriety, like life itself, is a gift, fragile and precious. Losing sight of that and the perspective it gives for the events we experience is inviting the old ways to return.
Thank you for sharing your experience, and good luck in your journey!
