Alcoholism Support Group

Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

Just something I found and liked.

I Asked God

I asked God to take away my pain.
God said, "NO, it is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up."
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, "No, her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary."
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, "No, patience is a by-product of tribulations, it isn't granted,
it is earned."
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, "No, I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you."
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, "No, suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and
brings you closer to me."
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, "No, you must grow on your own, but I will prune you
to make you fruitful."
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, "No, I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things."
I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me.
God said "Ahhhh, finally you have the idea."

God bless...
