PEACE
Peace is when time doesn’t matter as it passes by.
~ Maria Schell ~
We came into the Program with very little peace in our lives. Somebody or something was always coming by and tipping over our apple cart. Everywhere we turned we found nothing but turmoil. All our relationships seem loaded with pain and anxiety. There were days we cursed God for bringing such chaos into our lives.
The Steps have revealed that we have been the author of turmoil. We have seen how are addiction created war with everything it touched. The energy was within us, and it could not be satisfied until it destroyed everything, including our own lives. The Steps have slain the dragon, quieted the turmoil, won the war. There is now a gentle quality to our relationships, and the attitude of “live and let live” prevails in our lives.
The need to turn my apple cart over to generate excitement has become a distant memory. I have finally found my sought-for peace of mind.
