"...the major transformation has been spiritual. The hopelessness has been replaced by abundant hope and sincere faith. The people of AA have provided a haven where, if I remain aware and keep my mind quite enough, my HP leads me to amazing realizations. I find joy in my daily life, in being of service, in simply being. I have found rooms of wonderful people, and for me each and every one of the big book's promises have come true. The things that I have learned from my own experience, from the big book and from my friends in AA-patience, acceptance, honesty, humility abd true faith in a power greater than myself-are the tools I use today to live my life, this precious life. Today my life is filled with miracles big and small, not one of which would ever have come to pass had I not found the door or AA." WOW! I can so relate to this!! That pretty much sums up where I am right now. It doesnt matter what I did in the past! In working this program at least now I have leaned from the mistakes I have made and KNOW that I need to think, pray before choosing to do it again! I actually have a conscience!! Just like drinking...it really is no fun anymore!!!! Lani
