"If we are painstaking about this phase of our developement, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness, We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will desappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves."
BB pg 83-84

We often look around and think to ourselves "How did they do it?" It seems so impossible, huh? The truth of the matter lies in the heart........and the question we ask ourselves...... "How badly do I want this?" It is from this point we are able to determine our path(s). And you my friend have surely found yours. Congrats on the 1 mo. chip and more so for being an inspiration to others. Relay to your friend Mike.......he is welcomed here among us, as well. May both of you be blessed throughout your journey(s) in sobriety. Wanda
