A SUNRISE OF HOPE
“We had to find a power by which we could live...” Alcoholics Anonymous, page45
“My only hope is in your unfailing love and faithfulness.” Psalm 40: 11
For what it’s worth: In my drinking years, each new day was a dreaded awakening and started with pain, anxiety, and despair. In recovery, each new day is a sunrise of hope, welcomed with gratitude and peace. Sure, there are clouds some days that try to block the sunrise, but I have found a God that never fails me, and a set of Principles that always work - especially on cloudy days. My Heavenly Father and the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous are the power by which I live.
God bless you!
