"Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am." Philippians 4:13 (The Message)

"We all need the light of God's reality, the nourishment of His strength, and the atmosphere of His grace." Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, page 98

For what it's worth: Alcoholism forced me to believe God's strength and grace had been denied me. Only after years of sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous was my mind opened to "God's reality", and I saw how His love had rescued me all during my drinking days despite my arrogance and resistance. Today, I know what I am, namely, a worthless drunk. Anything beyond this is God's work. Witnessing what he has built with this mess, I trust His love. No matter what happens today, He and I will continue this sober journey together in "the atmosphere of His grace".

God bless you.
