FROM MISERY to MERCY

“It is clear that we made our own misery. God didn't do it.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 133

“Praise the Lord! For He has heard my cry for mercy.” Psalm 28:6

For what it’s worth: My false conviction that God was responsible for my alcoholic agony not only kept me drunk for years, it was the most difficult obstacle I had to overcome in recovery. Accepting responsibility for my plight and developing courage to change were gigantic miracles in my life. Without them, I could have died a miserable drunk, probably in the gutters of Baltimore with the cockroaches crawling all over my stinking body. Instead, here I am enjoying sobriety and life. One thing is certain: it was not by the grace of Joe, it was the Grace of God. My Heavenly Father carried me from misery to mercy.

God bless you.
Joe W.
