ALL HE HAS DONE

"We, who have recovered from serious drinking, are miracles of mental health." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 133

"O Lord my God, you have done many miracles for us. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them." Psalm 40:5

For what it's worth: In the last years of my drinking, rage and resentment ran rampant. Fear, self-pity, and despair dominated my thinking. I knew I would die a miserable, lonely death, and then I would rot in hell for eternity to pay for my sins. But it wasn't sin, it was disease. It was the nature of the progressive, insane affliction I suffered, alcoholism. And God was not out to get me, but save me. Thanks to the grace of God, instead of dying a horrible death, I have been granted a new life. Each day I do my best to live the Steps and walk with my Heavenly Father. He has accomplished “miracles of mental health” and “wondrous deeds” for this once insane and worthless drunk. It would take a forest full of trees to come up with enough paper to record all he has done for me.

God bless you.
