When I was driven to my knees by alcohol,
I was made ready to ask for the gift of faith.
And all was changed.
Never again, my pains and problems notwithstanding,
would I experience my former desolation.
I saw the universe to be lighted by God's love;
I was alone no more

Awesome... kind of like a generic version of Amazing Grace.

I choose to call my god, my personal HP. The way I see it if it works for you that's all that matters. To those that have neither keep seeking.

It is said without-work faith is dead.

To Recovery.

I was told to pray even if I didn't understand why or to whom I was praying. I heard that in meetings often and I did it.....just cause I believed them.

One day, out of nowhere.....it started making sense and things started changing...I started believing..and that's when my life got better.

Prayer, If you think you are doing it wrong there is a saying, if your praying no matter how your praying there is no right or wrong way of doing it.

To the newcomer the key words here is YOUR NOT ALONE.

absolutely never had to experience that alcoholic lonliness again.

You can pray at any time- while you work, while you drive, while you're sitting in a chair. You don't have to even close your eyes- it's often a simple attitude and a change of focus.

I like what you said about faith-........ funny that you simply have to make a choice, but it's sometimes so hard to make that choice!
