Life can be fabulous, happy and positive! My focus is now centered on the next right thing, the next step of the day. I'm remembering to be greatful for that which has been placed before me each day and for those who have been placed in my life to help with my growth, the good people and the negative influences, it all contributes to a growing experience. What matters is: What do I want to get out of it - Negative feelings or a closer relationship with my Higher Power and a deeper knowledge of myself and a few steps closer to my goal? My goal is to grow to be someone who has a level of Spiritual Awakening through this program that others will want so that God can use me to help someone else walk through the pain and into a relationship with their Higher Power and experience this amazing freedom that I never thought I would ever feel.I came to believe in a God who was merciful and forgiving, but not forgetful.And I have no desire to forget the past.My memories no longer fill me with shame and remorse.My whole story is a sort of divine mystery to me.I don't know how an intelligent human being
ever could have got into such a mess,
and the more firmly established in sanity I become,
the more amazed I am that I ever got out of the mess.Reprinted from Came to Believe, pp. 98-99,
