From "An Act of Providence:"

"I experienced the total bankruptcy of active
alcoholism -- everything meaningful in my life
was gone. I telephoned Alcoholics Anonymous
and, from that instant, my life has never been
the same. When I reflect on that very special
moment, I know that God was working in my
life long before I was able to acknowledge and
accept spiritual concepts."

Daily Reflections, page 17

From The Hoffields

God's grace brought me to the rooms of recovery, His grace is what keeps me here, and His grace kept me alive to find the way.

He is gracious in all things and loved me no matter where I have travelled on this journey of life, and He continues to sustain me as I approach each new day.

I often think that there were others so much more 'deserving' than me, yet on the other hand, I looked at things as my 'due' and how dare you. I leaned a long time ago, not to ask, "Why Me?" because I always got the answer, "Why not you? What makes you think you are so different, so special that you deserve anything different than anyone else living this journey they call "life!"

I stayed sick for a long time because I chose to play the blame game. When I went to Al-Anon and heard, "Let It Begin With Me!" it helped to change my perspective and take responsibility for myself. With the focus on me, then I was able to grow and change.

They say a change of attitude brings about a spiritual awareness, and as I become more aware, I become attuned to that grace working in my life.
