The Eye Opener
Sunday, Jan. 1, 2012
Without the introduction of a purpose into our lives, we would be but dried-up drinks, wallowing in self-pity for the loss of that which we were forced to deny oursleves in order to bring about some sembalance of order in our lives. We would be "off the bottle" but not for a moment happy about it - never with any sense of security.
We who have found AA have introduced that something into our lives that enabled us, with the Grace of God, to "fix" ourselves.
We have not given up anything - we have acquired something; we are no longer frustrated people, because we have introduced into our lives a reliance in a Power greater than oursleves, that we did not have before. That Power has opened up a new way of life, free of worry, fear and frustration.
