This reminds me of that one person in every room of recovery who takes no credit,
or responsibility for their every move. You know the type; God gets me out of bed,
God keeps me away from a drink, God drives me to meetings.
I don't mean to imply that divine intervention doesn't exist, but we are born with
free will and create our own path in life. Just take some credit for yourself and the
decisions made to become a better person.
Today at the noon meeting I shared that there is no spiritual cure for a physical
and mental illness. Sure faith is important, but it can't help depression.
There are many pieces to my addiction puzzle; but first and foremost, I have
a chemical imbalance, part genetic, and some caused by my addictive behaviors.
Correcting the imbalance allows me the freedom to pray, attend meetings and be
of service to another alcoholic.
