Gradually, I began to see another part of me emerging --
a grateful me, expecting nothing,
but sure that another power was beginning to guide me,
counsel me, and direct my ways.
And I was not afraid.
Then, as the power began to unfold new selves within me,
a greater understanding of my fellowman began.
With a new awakening each day -- new strengths, new truths,
new acceptance of AA people and people not in AA --
a new world opened up.
The adversities, loneliness, sickness, losses,
and disappointments mean nothing now.
I'm happy because I came to believe --
not only in God, but in the goodness of everyone.
I came; I came to; I came to believe.
A B C = Acceptance, Belief, Change.
