HE HOLDS ME CLOSER

“I will never fail you. I will never forsake you." Hebrews 13:5

“At heart we had all been abnormally fearful.” 12 &12 p.123, Step Twelve

For what it's worth: Fear dominated by life. It controlled my behaviors, influenced my thinking, and drove me away from God. Alcohol became my support in life. After years of drinking and driving everyone away from me, I went to Alcoholics Anonymous and begged for help. I felt humbled and empty. Some of the members, specifically that tricky bunch, persuaded me to attend many Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, got me involved in service work, and took me with them on Twelve Step calls. Hanging with the winners, I learned to practice the Twelve Steps, and this was my way to God. He teaches me through the right people and personal experiences. Some days are rough, so He holds me closer.

God bless you.
