About 23 years ago I attended an AA meeting with my sponsor who was Hispanic and I knew the meeting would be in Spanish but I was pretty sure I could keep up with my hafass Spanish speaking ability.

They asked me to read the 12 steps and I did. - They didn't even laugh at me either.

Good post.

Through the Program of AA, the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous and people like you helping me - I haven't found it necessary to take a drink since 26 Sep 81.

Suddenly realizing that God is doing for me...what I cannot do for myself.

One day at a time and easy does it :)

At one time in my life I believed that God didn't love me and would not help me. Well about 14 years ago I went to a place where they passed round a coin that said on it "One Day At a Time", and as each of the oldtimers (20 plus years each in the rooms) took the coin he prayed a silent pray and I cryed.

My life is different now, "Things that used to baffel me no longer do.

And God hears my prayers, as he always did, only now I believe he does.

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Powerful words of wisdom regardless of ones circumstances.

Just sensed someone needed to see the steps bump

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
