We Do Recover

[MajestyJo]

In living with the disease of alcoholism, I became a very fearful person who dreaded change. Although my life was full of chaos., it was familiar chaos, which gave me the feeling that I had some control over it. This was an illusion. I have learned in Al-Anon that I am powerless over alcoholism and many other things. I've also learned that chante is inevitable.

I no longer have to assume that change is bad because I can look back at changes that have had a very positive effect on me, such as coming to Al-Anon.

I still have many fears, but the Al-Anon program has shown me that my Higher Power willhelp me walk through them. I believe that there is a Power greater than myself, and I choose to trust this Power to know exactly what I need and when I need it.

Today's Reminder

Today I can accept the changes occurring in my life and live more comfortably with them. I will trust in the God of my understanding, and my fears will diminish. I relax in this knowledge, knowing that I am always taken care of when I listen to my inner voice.

"We may wonder how we are going to get through all the stages and phases, the levels of growth and recovery.... Knowing we are not alone often quiets our fears and helps us gain perspective."

- Living with Sobriety

We are not alone. I need to reach out and ask for help. My God will put the people in my life that I need to show me a better way of life.

That courage doesn't come from me. The knowing is given to me by my Higher Power. All things come through Him and it has been my goal for the last 25 years, to be a channel, so that I may help others.
