GETTING UP

“I have been brought into a way of living infinitely more satisfying and, I hope, more useful than the life I lived before.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 42-43

“The Lord is kind and merciful...full of unfailing love.” Psalm 145: 8

For what it's worth: Alcoholism stole my dreams of a satisfying and useful life and dumped me deep in despair. There would be no mercy for me. Certainly, no love. I was down as low as I dare go. Later, sober in Alcoholics Anonymous, I would come to realize God reached down and lifted me up to a useful and satisfying life. This demonstration of God's mercy and love gave me an overwhelming sense of gratitude and trust. Today, if I sense I am drifting back down hill, I grab onto something strong, remembering what God has done for me, and pull hard on my attitude of gratitude and trust. This always gets me back up.

God bless you.
