Today’s meeting was really great for so many of us. It was on the First Step, and many of the givers, making statements, turned this program into lively stories which made a lot of sense to all of us.
I know I was truly reminded about my own change in life. Going to my Higher Power and asking for His blessings and turning me away from alcohol. I remember falling asleep after my prayers, and then waking up the next morning free of alcohol. A real miracle for this alcoholic.
And then I also spoke about my entrance into AA, and how that began to change me. Not right away, but over time, when my first sponsor drank alcohol again and died. That changed me and I was able to get my second sponsor, who was able to wake me up and introduce me to true sobriety.
That’s when he introduced to the thoughts, that I didn’t know that I didn’t know…I only thought I did. It was a true wake up call.
I went on a little further, but that’s enough for now. Hopefully I helped one or two alcoholics, as did quite a few others. My hope is that it will help those who need to change and grow, not just in knowledge, but in a very spiritual way of life. My hope and that of so many others in here.
These moments helped me to be willing to help others, as it did many of the others in here. Made me very grateful and feeling blessed, as I know others did also. I need to thank all those, who I know were helping those, who needed hope. And I need to thank my Higher Power, and all those who also have helped me over time in here.
