Quote of the Week

The worst bottom can become 
the greatest beginning."

 

A woman once shared in a meeting that she used to keep a breathalyzer in her house to help her control her drinking. One day she started drinking too early, lost track of time, and her husband caught her using it. She was upset the dogs hadnt given her a warning he was coming. The husband, naturally, was aghast and it seemed like the end of her marriage and family. Instead, it led to her recovery. 
 
Ive heard people describe all kinds of bottoms. Some have shared that they came out of a black out in jail, scared and confused, and not knowing if they killed anyone while driving drunk. Ive known others who lost their businesses, their families, and even their freedom. Bottoms come with demoralization, shame, embarrassment and bewilderment. All of them seem like the end of the world and they are.
 
But the world that ends is a dark one, one that was ultimately unsustainable and that led to ruin. The new world that recovery brings is one where hope, love, and faith is restored. Through the Twelve Step program, a God of our own understanding performs the miracle of transformation in our lives. He turns what seems to have been the worst day into the greatest, and so begins our new life. No matter how dark your life seems right now, take our advice:
 
Dont leave before the miracle.
