Miracles
Since these things have happened among us, they can happen with you.
Should you wish them above all else, and be willing to make use of our experience,
we are sure they will come. The age of miracles is still with us.
Our own recovery proves that!

Hi, my name is Monica, a recovering alcoholic. Well, I think everything in my life is a miracle, starting from the fact that I destroyed my health using drugs. I wanted to protect my alcoholism and changed for drugs and almost lost my hearing and eyesight, but now hear almost perfectly well and I see well, too. And that is by the grace of God only. The fact that I am aware of things is a miracle. That I am not in denial anymore about my alcoholism and my character defects is a miracle. That I am sober and clean today is a miracle. That I can be grateful is a miracle; that I am not deadly depressed. Recently, my roof had a huge leak. My sponsor prayed for the roof to be fixed and (I am not lying!) that same night it rained heavily and not a bit of water came through the roof. I was amazed the next day! How could that have happened? The roofer had explanations, but nobody had worked on that roof - how could that be fixed out of nothing? A miracle! I just have to ask God to help me see and be grateful; to be humble enough not to take things for granted, but to thank God every minute, which I don't, but I acknowledge that I should. God has been good to me. Thank you, God. Thank you for the topic because it keeps my mind where it should be - in the positive side. Thank you for letting me share, and for being here.
