A LIGHT FOR LIVING

“We had to find a power by which we could live...” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 45

“My only hope is in your unfailing love and faithfulness.” Psalm 40: 11

For what it’s worth: In my last drinking years, each new day was a dreaded awakening, starting with anxiety and despair. In recovery, each new day is usually a sunrise of hope, welcomed with gratitude and serenity. Sure, some days clouds try to block the sun, but God never fails me - especially on dreary days. Now, this once lost and hopeless drunk knows he is a child of the Heavenly Father, and I have been given the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to guide me through life. These are the power by which I live, and my trust in my Heavenly Father’s love is my light for living on my dark days.

God bless you.
