The central fact of our lives today is the absolute certainty that our Creator has entered into our hearts and lives in a way which is indeed miraculous. He has commenced to accomplish those things for us which we could never do by ourselves. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 25
This truly is a fact in my life today, and a real miracle. I always believed in God, but could never put that belief meaningfully into my life. Today, because of Alcoholics Anonymous, I now trust and rely on God, as I understand Him; I am sober today because of that! Learning to trust and rely on God was something I could never have done alone. I now believe in miracles because I am one!

Thank God for AA. We are truley blessed.
We are Miracles!
I woke up this morning and realized what a miracle it is that I don’t have a hangover. There was never a New Year’s Day that I was able to enjoy, there was only pain and misery.
7 years ago I heard a guy in a meeting talk about his drinking and I couldn’t believe that he was sober. I knew guys like him and they were always hopeless. I never knew anyone like that who ever got sober. But here he was with a recovered life. I thought maybe this was a miracle. I realized that perhaps I could use this as the evidence for God that I needed.
This is my favorite day of the year to go to an AA meeting. The last 6 New Year’s Days have been progressively more hopeful for me and today was the best yet!
Thanks be to God and to AA.
