We alcoholics were accustomed to look at the world through the whiskey glasses and consequently what we saw of the world made it appear as one big case of D.T.'s. Sobriety corrected our vision and the world took on a more ordered appearance. The world hadn't changed--our viewpoint had. If the world still doesn't look good to you--probably you are still looking through your old glasses.
Amen! With the help of the AA Fellowship and my Sponsor, I completed the Steps and had a Spiritual Awakening. Not all at once; but slowly as I continued to work the Program. I continue to work the Program on a daily basis (step 10, 11 & 12). The Promises came true and the view through my eyes changed. I never thought it was possible when I entered AA, but it happened. Thank you God.
Yes. The world takes on an appearance of one that can be managed with the help of a higher power and basic tools of the program. It is no longer this frantic and drama filled merry go round of misery. It also appears that I am a small part of a machine that is largely functioning independently of me. I am not the center of it all and I take solace in being just a tiny cog in that huge machine.
