I witnessed a genuine miracle today!

Hello All! Let me start of by saying how grateful I am to all of you who have been coming to our site and viewing these posts. There is more content on the way with Two Podcast links. One will be recovery oriented and the other will be known as the GOD POD! So stay tuned!

Now the Miracle! Tonight I was at a meeting and a young woman who I just adore came in with her husband and son and she celebrated 5 years of sobriety tonight. This year she has gotten married to the father of her child and bought a new home! Those, too her, are true miracles based on where she was just five years ago when her son was taken from her because she was in the grips of Addiction. This is where the real miracle shows up. I said that she came into the meeting with her husband and son and today is the first day she has been granted full custody of her child and on the night she celebrates 5 years sober. She finally gets to take her son home for good! She praised God and Jesus after the meeting as that is her higher power. I too share that same God and how sweet is He that he rewarded her hard work, diligence and patience by blessing her with five years sober and being permanently reunited with her precious son on the same day! How sweet is God; it is beyond measure! No matter what is going on in your life, if you just persevere and walk the slow and steady pace, doing the best to do what is good and correct; God will show out in ways you could never imagine. Just like he did for this sweet woman and her newly whole family! Thank You for visiting and reading this and as always, God BLESS you ALL!

Fantastic speaker

So I was at a 12 step speaker meeting at my home group. For those of you who aren't familiar; it just means it's where I attend most of my meetings. He brought up how if we drink or drug it only gets worse and never better. This is common in our meeting rooms to discuss but tonight it got me thinking about how this applies to everyone and everything; not just drinking and drugging. The reality is whatever negative thought process, or poor behavior or poor speech regarding others we engage in any area of our lives; those things will always get worse. Think about a time you stayed in your head about something sad or a perceived hurt you may have encountered. The result was more sadness and more anger or hurt. These things are corrosive to God's spirit within us and therefore we must expel them at once. We do this by trying to understand what a person who hurt us is going through or instead of being sad find the positive in it. Even when my mother passed, I cried only once, and it was because she didn't have to suffer anymore. Then I remembered how awesome of a mother she was and still is. I say is because I carry her in my heart with every thought of her awesomeness! The idea is to feed our hearts, bodies and minds with the opposite of what we are feeling in a negative way. There is always a silver lining when God is at the center because we can take comfort in knowing he loves us and has us in his loving arms. Next time you feel any kind of way that isn't good, close your eyes and imagine you laying in Gods arms as he kisses your forehead and says I love you my child, and watch the pain, sadness or discomfort just melt away. God gave me all of this to share tonight because one man said it never gets better! Pay attention God is in all the details no matter how small! God Bless you ALL!

Celebration

What a great weekend. I got to celebrate a sponsee's 13th birthday at birthday night and see what the work we have together has accomplished and more importantly what God has done to help us and change us for the better because of the work he did through us and for us! Never underestimate the power of your experience! The painful times and the good times are all assets but only when they are shared. God does his best work through the right person, at the right time, with just the right information! Feel free to share a story on this site and help us build a family of folks willing to share the good and the difficult for the betterment of each other; even it is just anonymously!
