My physical being has certainly undergone a transformation, but the major transformation has been spiritual. The hopelessness has been replaced by abundant hope and sincere faith.
The people of Alcoholics Anonymous have provided a haven where, if I remain aware and keep my mind quiet long enough, my Higher Power leads me to amazing realizations. I find joy in my daily life, in being of service, in simply being.
I have found rooms full of wonderful people,
and for me each and every one of the Big Book's promises have come true. The
things that I have learned from my own experience, from the Big Book, and from
my friends in A.A. - patience, acceptance, honesty, humility, and true faith in a
Power greater than myself - are the tools I use today to live my life, this
precious life.
Today my life is filled with miracles big and small, not one of
which would ever have come to pass had I not found the door of Alcoholics
Anonymous.
