“A body badly burned by alcohol does not often recover overnight nor do twisted thinking and depression vanish in a twinkling. We are convinced that a spiritual mode of living is a most powerful health restorative.”
– Alcoholics Anonymous, 3rd Edition, 1976, Ch 9, p 133.
Today, patience to recover and overcome the years of physical, emotional and spiritual abuse to which I subjected my entire being with alcohol. The promise of a spiritual remedy we need –
if we apply it honestly and diligently – will restore us to some level of physical, emotional and spiritual wellness and sanity.In my impatience that is bred of my addiction, let me remember that I am, by nature, hungry for everything now but that not even my impatience can rush recovery.
Today, I take it One Day at a Time. And our common journey continues. Step by step.
