Time for Change
Quote:
The slogan says, "This too shall pass." This means the good and the not so good moments in our life. A sponsee told me she was angry at God. I told her, "That is okay, He has broad shoulders." His Love is unconditional. As they say, "He never gives us more than we can handle!" Sometimes, He has more faith in me than I have in Him. Because if I am doubting myself, I am doubting my God and not believing that He will give me what I NEED! How many times we prayed and didn't get the answer we wanted or felt we needed and deserved; only to find that our God's plan was better for us. We get caught up in Self and figure God should hear OUR plan for our life and do what we THINK He should give us. You are God, You can do this! That is why we need to pray for a change in our attitude to experience spiritual change in our life. Al-Anon isn't about the alcoholic/addict. It is about you and your spiritual bankruptcy, and as the slogan says, "Let It Begin With Me!" It isn't about fixing the alcoholic, we don't have the power. All we can do is pray for them, what we can do is pray for what we need to make changes in our own life. When we surrender to the program, work the 12 Steps, we can find peace and serenity. I found that I need Al-Anon for my emotional sobriety.
