RESCUE FROM “LIVING DEATH”

"They have a new attitude, and they have been saved from a living death." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 150

“When the poor and needy search for water and there is none, and their tongues are parched from thirst, then I, the Lord, will answer them." Isaiah 41:17

For what it’s worth: “A living death” well described my wretched existence while I was enslaved by alcoholism. I was most certainly "poor and needy" in every way, and my soul was “parched”, thirsting for even the slightest fulfillment. I prayed to die. But God heard my cry and answered with life, not death, by guiding me to Alcoholics Anonymous. Here I discovered hope to live one more day. Then another meeting and hope to live another day - and on and on, one day at a time until I loved life. But death did occur – the old me died. I have a new attitude and my yearning has been satisfied with the unconditional love of my Heavenly Father.

God bless you.
