Bill's Story - Miracles
"My friend sat before me, and he made the point-blank declaration that God had done for him what he could not do for himself. His human will had failed. Doctors had pronounced him incurable. Society was about to lock him up."
"Then he had, in effect, been raised from the dead, suddenly taken from the scrap heap to a level of life better than the best he had ever known."

Miracles -- you don't have to believe in them, but believe that I do. My life is witness to the fact that miracles do occur. Of course, I didn't recognize it right away. It took some time and it was only in hindsight that I saw how my life had changed. When I reflect on the variety of different ways I tried to control my drinking and the countless failed attempts to quit, I know that it isn't by my own will power that I am sober today. It is only by the grace of God.
It is far more humbling to accept charity, than to give it.
