My spiritual awakening
I have so much gratitude for God and my sponsor...when I FINALLY took her advice last week things are getting better and I am on such a better path at the moment. Now, I know I will have my bad days, the obsession to drink may rear its ugly head again, but I am trying so hard to work the program.
I pray every day to surrender my will over to God. I ask him to free me from my fears and obsession to drink every morning. I read the pages in the BB that my sponsor has told me to read every day.
At night I say two prayers and then my own personal prayer filled with love and gratitude. I then meditate with candles and soft music and it clears my head.
I know I must include faith in my life every single day even if I dont feel like it because its keeping me level headed. I told my sponsor that I am so grateful she is in my life bc now I am taking her advice I am filled with love and gratitude.
Tom. is a Friends of Bill W. picnic and I am excited to go and see everyone from the rooms and hopefully meet more people. A fun day without the booze.

Sounds like you are doing great! If you have a bad day this thread would be a good one to revisit to keep a level perspective. Definitely sounds like sobriety and personal growth are going hand in hand for you so far

You are doing it exactly like I did. Baby steps.
I completely got out of my EGO (Easing God Out) and started listening to my sponsor. She became sober in 1975, I was 5. So she knows a lot more about sobriety than I do. If I can stay out of my EGO and put the Will of God back in, then I know and have faith that I will be just fine.
Way to go!!
