I am not immune to what has become of my life as an alcoholic. I understand it and accept it as having grace to not be as overcome from it and the grace comes from outside of me...it is given to me so that I may use it and then pass it on to others in side and outside of the program.
I'm practicing staying still and listening. (((hugs)))
