Quote of the Week

“Are you willing to be amazed?”

By the end of my drinking and using, my life had gotten very small and there wasn’t much that excited me anymore. My existence had been reduced to a singular focus – getting loaded. The wonder and possibilities of life, the joy and anticipation of new friends, new opportunities and experiences were crowded out by my overwhelming obsession to drown myself in alcohol. As I slipped deeper into the abyss, I no longer cared if I lived or died. I had reached the end.

But once I surrendered and entered recovery, I discovered that the end actually led to a new beginning – the start of a sober life. As I worked the Steps, I found they acted like a ladder that allowed me to climb out of the pit of self. With each Step, I built a bridge back to others, back to life itself. As I learned to focus on my Higher Power and on being of service to others, the feelings uselessness and self-pity disappeared and I became reborn.

The program of Alcoholics Anonymous has awakened me to a life beyond my imagining. At first I just hoped to stop drinking, but as I worked through the Twelve Steps I got more than I could ever have asked for. All the promises have come true for me and so much more. The wonder and possibilities have returned, and I wake up each morning with a burning anticipation of what God has in store for me. I have discovered and pursued opportunities I never knew existed. I have had wonderful experiences like meeting and marrying my soulmate, and today I actually have peace and serenity.

Today when I hear a newcomer complain about his life, I listen and then ask: “Are you willing to be amazed?”
