sober by God's grace...

God's grace comes in many forms...i know that i am sober today only by the grace of God...there seems to always be 'things' going on; with your loved ones and in the world around you...don't have any control over what comes flying at you at any given moment, but if you are spiritually fit, you can "intuitively understand situtations that use to baffle you"; that is a promise from the big book of Alcoholic's Anonymous.

can't say that i understand some of the 'things' that are happening around me at the moment...but i can say that by accepting everything, exactly as it is at this very moment, i can still have peace within. i still have to get up and 'do the dishes' so-to-speak, and that seems to be where i am at the moment...praying for the willingness to just get up and do what i can do...and leave all the other stuff to the God of my understanding. am not saying that all this is always easy; it is not. the mind still wants to get in there and fight for it's rights and it's position...but at least today, for the moment, i know that none of my old ways of thinking work...

it is really ironic, to have come this far, and to realize that i did not go anywhere...soooooooooooooooo, i am back where i began...

powerless...over people, places, and things...

God's grace is the power that i look to today, for i am only sober by God's grace...
