SEEK GOD FOR SUCCESS

“If strong people were stalemated in the search for peace and harmony, what was to become of our erratic band of alcoholics?” 12&12 p.130

“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Psalm 31:24

For what it's worth: There was no hope in the Lord or anyone else during my diseased days of alcoholic drinking. After all, if normal people struggled, a drunk like me would definitely go under. That's also what I thought about Alcoholics Anonymous. They had to be a weak bunch. So, how could they help me? As it turns out, they helped me the same way they helped themselves. Alcoholics Anonymous sought a Higher Power for fulfillment. And they offered me a merciful, loving God for sobriety and survival. Even after all these years, it is still that way. When weak, I run to my Heavenly Father for strength. And I have faith that should problems arise for any member or group of Alcoholics Anonymous, God will be sought for success.

God bless you.
