SOMETHING TO GIVE

“But obviously you cannot transmit something you haven't got.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 164

“If I didn't love others, I would be of no value whatsoever.” 1 Corinthians 13: 3

For what it's worth: Alcoholism destroyed all the love in my life and left me feeling incapable of love. I felt empty and worthless when I attended my first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. I had nothing to give. But I found people there who had plenty to give. They gave me the priceless treasure of a merciful Higher Power who I came to trust loved me unconditionally. They gave me a proven program of Twelve Steps that, in turn, gave me a spiritual experience that left me feeling capable of love. All during this time these good people were showing me how to give as they gave. And as I followed them, doing what they did, I learned to give. Now, as they taught me, I can give love away to keep it, and when another suffering soul reaches out for love, I want to be there.

God bless you!
