Day 22. Thoughts on God/Higher Power

From page 56 of the AA big Book.

*Then like a thunderbolt, a great thought came. It crowded out all else: "Who are you to say there is no god?"

I heard this at the last AA meeting i went to...It got me thinking. I've never denied the existence of a god/HP...But I've never actively sought him out either.

For some reason...I think he sought ME out 22 days ago. That's the day of my last drink...That's the day i blacked out on the subway platform and awoke in the hospital scared/bewildered and aggressive.

For some reason these words jumped off the page. I don't know HOW i came to in a safe place that night. It certainly wasn't me that was guiding me there.

I think that night God basically knocked me off my feet with a message.
*This part of your life is OVER. It ends tonight!...I think he might have been angry with me too..LOL*

22 days later and i have NO desire to drink today. For whatever reason this traumatic event seems to have opened a communication line I've never had in my life before.

Whatever it is. It's New...and it's welcomed.

I've been following your story.

Learn as much as you can. Read everything spiritual you can get your hands on.

There is more to this life/universe than what we can see with our eyes.
