When on the roller coaster of emotional turmoil,
I remember that growth is often painful.
My evolution in the AA program has taught me
that I must experience the inner change, however painful,
that eventually guides me from selfishness
to selflessness.
If I am to have serenity, I must STEP my way
past emotional turmoil and its subsequent hangover,
and be grateful for continuing spiritual progress.
The storm has passed.
I've learned a little more about peace.
It was inside all the time.
HOW NOW = Honest, Open-minded, Willing; No Other Way.
