SALVATION

"When I first came to this Fellowship, I had lost my health and sanity, my friends, much of my family, my self-respect, and my God. In the years since, all of these have been restored to me." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 368

"With joy you will drink deeply from the fountain of salvation!” Isaiah 12: 3

For what it’s worth: All hope of salvation was lost as alcoholism eroded all the worth of my being. Nothing would have been saved except for the blessing of sobriety. Although I remained skeptical well into Alcoholics Anonymous, I had nothing to lose and everything to gain, so I stayed sober attending daily meetings. Ever so slowly, I grew to believe God is restoring my worth. Today I see the Great Builder reconstructing my life on a solid foundation and I have hope of eternal joy and peace - never expected and totally undeserved.

God bless you.
