A reading from the April issue of the Grapevine. On page 21 there is a awesome quote that I just had to share with you. Here it is----
"I THOUGHT GOD WOULD OPEN UP THE GATES OF HEAVEN AND LET ME IN. HE DIDN'T. HE OPENED UP THE GATES OF HELL AND LET ME OUT" This is the CA version of the same quote: I'm not certain in mind or heart if our Good Lord through His mercy love and wisdom will open up the Gates of Heaven and allow ME in. But from what I realize of my horrid past, through the 12 steps and the adorned fellowship, He certainly opened up the gates of Hell and let me out. CA uses the Big Book of AA. It certainly was a truth for me. I didn't need bars to keep me in a cage, I was a prisoner of my own mind. It isn't the substance that is the problem, it is the thinking behind the drinking and drugging, be it alcohol, drugs, food, work, gambling, etc.
