A Nice Way to Start the Day
My name is Tom and I am an alcoholic. Upon awakening, I dropped to my knees, as a self-centered alcocholic who wants to run the show, I ahve to keep myself small in the eyes of my creator. When I pray to him on my knees, I raise my hands, because I am prideful and arrogant. I need to come to him in a state of total humility and beg his mercy and for the power to remain sober. I called my sponsor and did two pages out of the big book. I went to the daily reflections for the day and then headed to my first meeting of the day, where I make coffee. I am sober today, not by my own doing, but by the reprieve God has granted me and through the 12 steps.
Hi Tom.
Thanks for sharing this. It's beautiful how simple it is to stay sober, when we open our hearts up to the love of a higher power. I'm inspired to start my day just like you...what a joy!
