REAL COURAGE

"The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble." Psalm 9:9-10

"All men of faith have courage. They trust their God." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 68

For what it's worth: Alcohol created many troubles for me with its illusion of courage, especially since I had rejected a relationship with God. Years of agonizing despair were necessary to drive me to seek help by attending an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Thank God for the agony, otherwise I would have died a lonely, miserable alcoholic, self-condemned to the eternal fires of hell. Instead, the people and the Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous taught me to trust my Lord. Trusting God gives me real courage in comfortable and troubled times.

God bless you.
