MAJORITY
“One individual with courage is a majority.”
~ Thomas Jefferson
Alcoholism made me afraid of my shadow. I became so paralyzed with fear I could not enjoy my life. I felt I could do nothing. My disease told me I was helpless. I existed in an atmosphere of doom and gloom.
Then I experienced a “moment” of sanity in which I recognized myself as the problem. My pain was caused by my own actions and attitudes. I took courage, confronted the disease, and decided to take small steps toward recovery.
I have built my confidence on that “moment” of courage. I am not an island unto myself. I am not alone. God is with me in my life, and so is my recovering community.
Give me courage to be what You have created and accept my miracle.
