Sobriety Is a Gift of God

Recovering people may tell their therapists, Thank you for saving my life. This is pleasant to hear, but we should recognize the truth. We do many things to guide people to sobriety, and when they succeed, they often give us full credit for the achievement. The truth is that sobriety is not achieved by our own efforts, whether client or therapist. Sobriety is a gift of God. Recovering people can make themselves able to accept that gift, and helpers can show how to stop obstructing God's gift.
