FRESH EACH DAY

“Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” Lamentations 3:23 (New Living Translation)

“The remorse, horror and hopelessness of the next morning are unforgettable.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 6

For what it's worth: Unforgettable, indeed! Acohol lost its majic and the next mornings were filled with anxiety and despair. I believed the only end would be suicide, but fear of facing a harshly judgmental Creator forced me to seek relief. I tried everywhere without success, and, finally, I attended a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. There, to my surprise, after years of sobriety and daily application of the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, I realized I found everything I ever sought in life. Today, deep in my being I can trust the love of my Heavenly Father and the spiritual power of Alcoholics Anonymous. Since I suffer with problems other than alcoholism, some days I am weak and filled with doubt, but I know if the darkness continues through the night, my Heavenly Father’s “mercies begin afresh each morning”.

God bless you.
