We Asked His Protection.

We Asked His Protection and Care with Complete Abandon.

From Alcoholics Anonymous,

Page 59.

I could not manage my life alone.

I had tried that road and failed.

My ultimate sin dragged me down to the lowest level I have ever reached.

And unable to even function,

I accepted the fact that I desperately needed help.

I stopped fighting and surrendered entirely to God.

Only then did I start growing.

God forgave me.

A higher power had to have saved me because the doctors doubted that I would survive.

I have forgiven myself now and I enjoy a freedom I have never before experienced.

I've opened my heart and mind to Him.

The more I learn,

The less I know.

A humbling fact.

But I sincerely want to keep growing.

I enjoy serenity,

But only when I entrust my life totally to God.

As long as I'm honest with myself and ask for His help,

I can maintain this rewarding existence.

Just for today,

I strive to live His will for me soberly.

I thank God that today I can choose not to drink.

Today,

Life is beautiful.
