HEALING, INSIDE AND OUT

“After all, our problems were of our own making. Bottles were only a symbol.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 103

“For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.” Psalm 109:22

For what it's worth: My insecurities and weaknesses came before the alcohol. When those defects became too heavy, I used alcohol for relief and rapidly became addicted, creating havoc in my life and the lives of others. Being aware of the damage I caused, I lived in despair with guilt and shame for years, until I finally reached out to Alcoholics Anonymous. Here I find hope, people who understand and accept me, and a God that loves me. His grace, the power of the Twelve Steps, and the support of the people of Alcoholics Anonymous are my road to recovery– not just from my drinking problem, but for the whole me – a way to joy and peace, inside and out.

God bless you!
