THE HARD WAY

“We had to learn these things the hard way.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 121

“So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle.” Jeremiah 10: 24

For what it's worth: Years of miserable existence in alcoholism left me mistrustful and stubborn. I was arrogant and defiant. And I was angry. Only a miracle could change me. By the grace of God, I stopped drinking when I came to Alcoholics Anonymous, but I still carried my garbage and my attitude. For me to dump it requires years of sobriety and hard work with the Twelve Steps and professional help. Looking back, I see the people of Alcoholics Anonymous and God are always gentle and patient with me as they teach me to surrender my way for His way - a simple task that I do the hard way.

God bless you!
