ON AWAKENING…

"On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 86

"Let me hear of your unfailing love to me in the morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I have come to you in prayer." Psalm143:8

For what it's worth: I dreaded awakening for years. Each new day of my drinking was worse than the one before, promising more suffering and shame. The fear it would never end drove me to Alcoholics Anonymous. Relief came with sobriety and trust in a Higher Power. Today, when I awake, I am greeted with a sunrise of hope. I pray immediately, thanking God for His many blessings, and spending time with Him in prayer and meditation. It may be weak on many mornings, but my Heavenly Father still loves for me to come to Him. He reminds me I can trust His love and assures me He will guide my next step all day long. I have found even a short period of prayer and meditation makes the next 24 hours far better than anything I ever experienced in my diseased days.

God bless you.
