Change

In the process of this change
I can recognize two immensely significant steps for me.
The first step I took when I admitted to myself for the first time
that all my previous thinking might be wrong.
The second step came when I first consciously wished to believe.
As a result of this experience I am convinced that to seek is to find,
to ask is to be given.
The day never passes that I do not silently cry out in thankfulness,
not merely for my release from alcohol, but even more
for a change that has given life new meaning, dignity, and beauty.

Thought to Ponder....

I came; I came to; I came to believe.

I am Amazed to rediscover that all's I have to do is ask......
Ask for willingness
Ask for the desire to stop drinking
Ask for help
Ask for love
Ask for forgiveness

And, it will come in some form or another
in one simple action

What are you asking for today?
