…our addictions can lead us to a deep appreciation of grace. They can bring us to our knees. ~ May, Gerald G.. Addiction and Grace: Love and Spirituality in the Healing of Addictions (p. 4). HarperCollins. Kindle Edition.
Have you considered your indebtedness
to addiction? No, not how grateful you are
for Recovery! If it were not for falling on our faces
we would never have been miserable enough
to make the total about face to surrender!
If you’re like me, you knew the answers,
could talk theology, quote scripture.
recite the answers, but it’s in needinggrace, knowing we don’t deserve it,
that we really listen, that we really
surrender, that we turn over control.
Oh, how great the relief!
