Despite myself!

That despite myself a loving God never let go of my hand.

A flimsy reed I thought, but it turned out to be the loving hand of a Father, whom I never understood. He sent His servant to come and rescue me from the ravages of alcoholism and certain death. I thought I could never live life again without alcohol. How wrong I was. I sometimes cannot find enough hours to enjoy the excitement of this sober life.

The only thing I can tell the new man, is that God is infinitely good, irrespective of how bad I can be. The 12 steps helped me to form a new relationship with God. It is just a set of good, orderly, directions.[GOD]

The 12 steps for me was a set of easy tools in which the supernatural could be reached via the natural order of things.
