EXPERIENCING THE SUNSHINE

“I stood in the sunlight at last.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 12

“What a wonderful God he is! His radiance is like the sunshine.” Habakkuk 3:4

For what it's worth: Alcoholism is a dark, gloomy, and miserable existence. Perhaps that is why one experience in my life is so significant. I was sober about six years in Alcoholics Anonymous when a near death experience resulted in a long hospital stay. It seemed I had been hospitalized forever when a kind nurse asked if I needed anything. I asked her to take me out into the sunshine. She wheel chaired me outdoors and allowed me to stay there a short while. When I remember that day, I still feel grateful. And, if I am having a dark day, recalling it I can experience the warmth and radiance of simply sitting in the sunshine.

God bless you!
