I'm Cheryl an alcoholic.

My powerlessness reminds me every day that my Higher Power is there for me. That reminder brings me joy, grace and peace. I know it consumes me when I see the positive response from those around me ... my family, grocery clerks, work partners. People treat me better, because I treat myself better. My powerlessness has given me a gift that I can receive from others. I am with you. My heaven is here on earth today because of genuine relationships that I have. I didn't have them before my surrender, and I thought I could control everyone and everything. I have found so much peace in knowing that I am powerless. God will take my hand and show me the light ... the inner light of myself and those around me. Control takes that light away, now I know. God bless the light that shines in you and me today.

Thanks for letting me share.
