It seems that the things we do, and the things that happen to us as a result of the things we do, are all part of a bigger plan. I was told that the pain I was feeling was in fact a good thing. I didn’t see it that way at the time, but looking back on my hard run to the bottom, it’s true.

If not for that overwhelming mental and spiritual pain, I would never have pulled up long enough to make my first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

Things are much better for me now.

If you want what we have, and are willing to do what we did, you can say the same thing.
