    The miracles in my life have usually occurred in the midst of chaos. Thus, I didn’t notice them until long after they happened … and they happen slowly. Once the dust settles and I look back, I see that what I needed wasn’t always what I wanted but I’m better off for it. If I…

    If I think that God has given me more than I can handle, does that mean that I think God made a mistake? My experience tells me that just when I feel like giving up, God shows me a way.  Sometimes it’s a little break.  Sometimes it’s a big break. Sometimes it’s an angel disguised…

    Everyone is going through something, either good or bad, with optimism or dread. I am in no position to tell someone else how to think, feel, or act. I’m not walking in their shoes. I am in a position to show understanding and compassion. Sometimes that’s what is needed most. This road is long. I’m…

    People like me can’t do “just a little bit”. We are alcoholics and addicts. When it comes to alcohol and drugs, we do as much as we can for as long as we can. The insidious nature of our disease is that there are times when we convince ourselves that we can handle it. “This…

    When I stopped drinking, I had to start doing a bunch of things that I had never done before, including prayer and going to meetings. I was very uncomfortable around people, I was afraid I was going to find myself drinking again, and I seemed like a real weirdo to people who knew me. After…

    When I ask, “God, when will my life get better?”,  God replies “When will you start being grateful?”. If I am not living with gratitude, God’s Blessings are wasted on me.   God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.

    If I’m not feeling a connection with God, it can be a little unsettling.  The problem is within me. I can’t force it. I need to allow it to happen. I can pray until cows come home and not feel it.  God is always with me. He wants me to seek Him always. God is…
