Hi everybody. I have not been on this forum for quite some time now but I am 8 months sober tomorrow and in a very bad place with my physical health so not been able to get to many f2f meetings. My sponsor sent me this poem last week and I love it and read it every time I feel down.
I dreamt I met my higher power and I listened while He talked. He reminded me of the difficult path thru life that I had walked. We laughed and cried together as the memories tumbled by and just as heartache turned to anger I asked the question ....Why??? Why didnt you protect me when my body was abused? Why couldnt u have stopped me when I picked up the booze? That was ure path in life He said, the way it had to be, it made u strong and brave and wise, it led u back to me. My precious child I love u and I never left ure side, I was ure heartbeat and ure breath on the times u nearly died. I dreamt i met my higher power and He listened while I spoke and I told him of my gratitude that my spirit had awoke.
Good to see you again! Congrats on 8 months sobriety!!!!! Wooohooo! Love the poem and plan on sharing it! Try to post more often esp. if you cant get about to much! Will pray for your health!!!!

Thanks for coming back & sharing your lovely poem with us, Kaz. Congrats on your 8mths 3rd Aug! I had 22mths yesterday 1Day@aTime too. Well done us. We have done this together. I hope you feel the love of your Higher Power more & more with you as you're growing & allowing it in. It's us that blockes the sunlight of the spirit & when we humbly offer up our defects the quicker we unblock the way to the rays of this shining light. Enjoy another special Day, Kaz. In recovering support, Daniella x
