That G Word

[MajestyJo]

God comes in many forms, as I like to say, "God is as He reveals Himself to me in today." Even calling God "He" is an old tape, how do we know what God looks like and what form He truly takes. Another favourite of mine is, "I don't know who God is, so I will keep looking for Him." He just might appear in a form I didn't recognize and I might reject Him. I found that He also makes Himself known as a Group of Drunks, a Group of Drug Addicts, who carry me Good Orderly Direction to show me a new way of living.

When I surrendered to the program and surrendered to the fact that I was an addict, who used many things in her life, that the Spirit of God entered me, and I found a personal connection, that I never had with my God before. I always knew that Jesus loved me. I sang it when I was old enough to talk, taught Sunday School, sang in the choir, and dedicated my life to God at 18, but that didn't stop me from becoming an addict/alcoholic. It wasn't until I found the Spirit of the Fellowship and the principles of the program and applied them to my life, that I could stop and stay stopped.

My sponsor(s) and advisers were big support and helped me along my journey. One sponsor said, "I don't care who or what your God is, as long as it isn't you."

That Spirit connected me to that God that I knew created the world and made it go around. It wasn't some distant being out of reach. All I had to do was go within to find Him.
