Miracle I was spiritually bankrupt long before AA entered my life and long before alcoholism took over like a parasite under my skin. I had nothing, no faith at all to cling to. I had no faith in man, because along with my drinking I had lost faith in myself. I trusted no one, for others were but a mere reflection of my own self, and I could not trust me. I got sober in AA, and, like a miracle, the warm flood of reality I had feared for so long flowed over me, and I was no longer afraid. . . With the tools and guideposts of AA, we can learn a little more of this precious gift -- our gateway to human spirituality. Reprinted from Came to Believe, pp. 118-120. Thought to Ponder.... Don't give up before the miracle happens. Recovery Related Acronym T R U S T = Try Relying Upon Steps and Traditions.
