WHAT COMES FIRST?

"Jesus replied, 'What is impossible with man is possible with God.'” Luke 18:27 (New International Version)

"Alcoholics Anonymous saved my life, and it comes first." 12&12 p.159

For what it's worth: My life was lost because alcohol came first. I was doomed to die the worthless drunk I was with the fires of hell welcoming me. I had harmed many of God's children, and I believed salvation impossible. However, the merciful God rescued me from the gates of hell and somehow shoved me through the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous with a bunch of tricky drunks. He knew their bamboozlement would break through my prideful resistance and their example would lead me to Him. Now, undeservedly but gratefully, my Heavenly Father and Alcoholics Anonymous come first in my life.

God bless you.
