I remember 5 months ago living every day in a haze. I may have been able to tell you then what was going on in my life, but if you ask me today what I was doing 5 months ago I’d probably tell you I was dying. In truth I was and still am dying, the key difference being I’m dying at a more “normal” rate.
I contribute this entirely to the AA program. Today I have a life worth living, and it has nothing to do with the things I used to see as the end all be all. Instead of looking forward for my next justification to get loaded, I look forward to something much more subtle yet incredibly powerful.
I have found on my worst days in sobriety, that if I can remain observant and present I am often (but not always) rewarded. The reward? Can be difficult to explain. A few examples: A new opportunity presents itself, I get an unexpected call from a loved one, I hear something in the rooms that really sticks, and my favorite so far; The serenity prayer in its entirety written in the sand of Ledbetter beach.
These are referred to in the fellowship around here as “God Shots”. Sometimes they’re tangible and sometimes they’re not. Either way they have saved me time and time again, and I am grateful to my Higher Power and this program for allowing me the chance to see these beautiful signs.
Would love to hear about your favorite “God Shot” or similar experience in the comments
