PROTECTION & CARE

"We asked His protection and care with complete abandon." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 59

"No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand." John 10: 28

For what it's worth: All was lost to alcoholism, and I ended up deeply insecure, easily threatened, and highly mistrustful. I carried these traits into Alcoholics Anonymous, feeling skeptical of the people and the program, even afraid of losing the hope I found at my first meeting. My fear caused me to talk with my sponsor and he suggested the Third Step of Alcoholics Anonymous. I found the “protection and care” I so desperately needed when I made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God. Instead of losing the hope, it has grown. Everything I place in God's hands increases in value. No one can snatch away any of God's gifts, except me.....I would lose all with that first drink.

God bless you!
