A PRECIOUS BLESSING

“Love and tolerance of others is our code.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 84

"Praise the Lord, for he has shown me his unfailing love." Psalm 31:21

For what it's worth: As if yesterday, I recall the torture of the worthless, lonely last years of my drinking. There was no love, and I was convinced I could never love or be loved. As if yesterday, I recall the delight of walking into my first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and unexpectedly finding love. The acceptance and empathy from the people of Alcoholics Anonymous was a warm hug I never had before, and discovering God had lifted me out of the hell of alcoholism and was safeguarding me in Alcoholics Anonymous was a demonstration of His Love I never neither expected nor deserved. His love continues. I know because this former unloving and unlovable drunk is sober and loved by many I love. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for the precious blessing of love in my life, and, to keep it, I beg His grace to remain sober today.

God bless you.
