It finally became obvious to me
that the God I thought had judged and damned me
had done nothing of the sort.
He had been listening, and in His own good time
His answer came. His answer was threefold:
the opportunity for a life of sobriety;
Twelve Steps to practice, in order to maintain
that life of sobriety;
fellowship within the program, ever ready to sustain
and help me each twenty-four hour day.
I hold no illusion that I brought
the AA program of recovery into my life.
I must always consider it as a gift of opportunity.
In the use of this opportunity, the onus is on me.
What I am is Gods gift to me.
What I make of myself is my gift to Him.
