"...bad faith???"
Quote:
Just how bad is my faith? Is it justifiable or just fine thank you?. I believe in freedom of choice. Do I exercise that belief and get the most out of the power that is available to me? Or, do I just know, and do nothing about it? Always thought of faith as a positive thing. I know a little goes a long way. I whole lot strengthens me. I have faith in the AA program. I have faith in the 12 Steps. I believe they are a tool that fits any nut that walks through the doors of recovery. I thought that was very derogatory when I first heard it, but found it to be very true. I was one of the biggest, it fit me, so why wouldn't it fit someone else. My hope turned into faith. My faith turned into a connection to my Higher Power. Have I maintained that connection or have I turned it into an Ego? Faith without works is dead. Work without faith, gets me nowhere. How does your faith measure up? Something I posted on another site in 2009 I know my faith is holding up, otherwise I would have died many times along the recovery road. I am so grateful for the program that keeps on giving me a brand new day.
