Sobriety- a precious gift
Permalink  
 


What a precious gift my God chose to give me. Without sobriety in my life nothing worked. When I got sober in AA and started to live life again, I realised what it was just to breathe again. I stopped asking my God for petty little things. He had given me the most precious of all gifts SOBRIETY which was LIFE. Reborn in step 3. No just re-living but born again. A whole new lease of life. To work and earn and live and enjoy life. Not just living to die like when I was drinking.
Whenever I am faced with a difficult situation, I remind myself of the great gift of sobriety that God had given me. I do not deserve it but He gave it to me because of grace.

Well put gonee. I find myself wondering what I did to deserve such a great gift. I have no answer, but I will cherish it as long as I can keep it. Thank you for sharing this.
