Consequences

When most of us think of this word we think bad news but, if we can learn, consequences have an up side. It’s the “if we can learn” thing here that’s important. Under the influence, consequences came and went in my life without learning a thing. When I think about it, how else could I have taken myself to jails institutions and death? Lights off, in the fog and surrounded by others more lost than I was.

NOT GOOD! 

It was only the Grace of our Lord, plain and simple, that brought me to that moment of clarity. Surrender to sobriety.. alleluia, now I can learn if I am willing to join and stay. It’s like my good friend Dale always sez “You need to come all the way in, an set all the way down”  No more giggles left in la la land for us!

Now WE begin to learn by our continued mistakes. Not near as as bad as before without sobriety and getting better. WE learn by attending meetings and listening to others talk about their mistakes. Best of all, we learn from those with time who have stayed in the program, done the work and transform their lives into something wonderful. That was HOW the faith I needed began to materialize. I started to think “ If that bozo can find his way home, maybe I can too! ”

Now, by God’s Grace and all you fine folks, I have received the impossible consequence. A result that I never ever believed I could ever achieve. A sober and forgiven life beyond my wildest dreams. 

The good news…

You too can have a life like this. Taylor made, with real divine purpose just for you from our loving God. Just find yourself a good sponsor with time to help you through, and keep coming back. “You’ll be amazed before your halfway through.” 

I guarantee it!
