WHAT HAPPENED?

“Ideas, emotions, and attitudes which were once the guiding forces of the lives of these men are suddenly cast to one side, and a completely new set of conceptions and motives begin to dominate them.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 27

“He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.” Job 8:21

For what it's worth: A miraculous transformation…a spiritual awakening… what truly describes what happen to me? A worthless, self-absorbed, miserable drunk now has value, cares deeply about others, and has a full life. What words explain it? I am unworthy of such wonder as has occurred deep within my being. I hurt many of God’s children. I remember the tears of despair and the shame of my sinful behaviors. I used to spit at myself in the mirror. Now I laugh at myself and enjoy feeling worthwhile and loved. I cursed God. Now I shout joyfully of His glory. What happened? I know without doubt such is possible only by my Heavenly Father’s love. How can I ever say "THANKS!"?

God bless you.
