FROM TORMENTED TO TRUSTING

"The insidiousness of alcoholism is an appalling thing." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 382 (Fourth Edition)

"Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, have never abandoned anyone who searches for you." Psalm 9: 10

For what it's worth: Alcoholism mixed with mistrust created a tormented, defiant soul. But I could not see the cause. Denial hid it from me. Finally, a deep inner pain drove me to seek relief in Alcoholics Anonymous. With the drink gone, I was able to see the problem and find a path out of the anguish. I have traveled that path for years now, living the Twelve Steps, seeking and finding a loving Heavenly Father, and most days my soul overflows with joy. On the other days my soul survives by trusting God's love.

God bless you!
