Sunday Morning Spiritual Meeting 10:00 a.m. EST

Topic: It's about the journey, not the destination

Courage to Change January 26, pg. 26

I'd read the Twelfth Step many times before I saw it. But there it was:

"Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps..."

What a promise! If I worked these steps, I'd have a spiritual awakening!

There was hope, even for me!

Now that's not why I first came to Al-Anon. Like many, I came to find

out how to make someone stop drinking. It was much later when I

realized that my life was missing a sense of direction only a Higher Power

could provide.

Those wonderful Twelfth Step words gave me the encouragement I

needed to begin at the beginning. Slowly, sometimes painfully, I worked

my way through the steps.

In time, something amazing happened. I was filled with a sense of my

God and His love for me. I felt whole. I knew I'd never be the same again.

Todays Reminder

The Steps offer me a road map for living that leads to a spiritual awakening

& beyond. I can't skip ahead to the end of the journey-which can at times

be a hard one-

but I can put one foot in front of the other & follow the directions I've been

given, knowing that others who have gone before me have received more

along the way than they had ever dreamed.

"The first time I ever heard the Twelve Steps read at a meeting, I became

very still. I felt I was not breathing...I was just listening with my whole being...

I knew deep within me that I was home."~ As We Understood...
