I drank....I drugged....and I lost. I was chasing a shadow that I couldn't catch. When I first started using it cost me a few dollars. By the time I got here it nearly cost me my life. I was chasing death and paying for it.
A newcomer makes his first meeting, it happened to be the celebration of someone’s anniversary. All the alcoholics were having a great time, it seemed like the party never was going to end. The newcomer goes to an old-timer and asks,” when does this party end?" The old-timer puts his arm around the newcomer and says, "Welcome, around here the party doesn't stop till all the alcohol is gone" Surprised at the old man's answer the newcomer then replies, "But you all don't even drink." the old-timer smiles and says, "Exactly"
My heart overflows with feelings of gratiude for the very first gift God has given...His Son. It overflows with His love for all the recovering friends He placed in my life. May God continue to bless you, as you look to Him as your source of strength in this season of celebration.Merry Christmas!
