ONCE AN ALCOHOLIC…

At some point, can’t remember exactly when 🤔 God pointed out to me that “Many people, far worse off than you and I, have entered through the doors of Alcoholics Anonymous, stayed, and stayed sober.”

You can’t work the steps until you get sober. You can’t stay sober without following a few suggestions.

“If you’re on prescription medications because you’re working a piss poor program – then it’s no different than using” – God (1990s). That’s when I got off meds!

I used to think any kind of medications you were on, whether prescribed by a doctor or self prescribed, had an adverse effect on our spiritual condition-our relationship with God. But God, having the final say so in all our affairs… Makes the final determination (and the distinction between things we need -and things we ourselves choose, which ultimately harm our spiritual condition -interfere with the relationship between the two of us) as to where when and how much grace is granted -after all 🤷‍♂️ it’s all about grace! HIS GRACE!

I used to hear an Alcoholics Anonymous meetings all the time “If you’re gonna be miserable, you might as well go out and get drunk! Tell that to the family of the victim(s) who got mamed or killed by the person who decided to take that advice, went back out, and… well I think we know the rest of the story.*

*God pointed this out to me some decades ago -after hearing over and over “if you’re gonna be miserable…”
