~ TRUST ~
Come to the edge, he said.
They said, 'We are afraid.'
Come to the edge, he said.
They came. He pushed them.
...and they flew.
Guillaume Apollinaire
Whenever things look bleak, I remember how dark and dismal my life was before my Higher Power led me to this Twelve Step program. Before, I was afraid to reach for recovery; I was afraid to try to be an overcomer; I was afraid to come to the edge. But slowly I inched my way over to that edge, and my Higher Power gave me a gentle nudge. I was flying! I wasn't chained by my disease any more. I wasn't trapped in the darkness; I'd come into the light. That day I received a gift from my Higher Power ... I received a taste of recovery.
One day at a time ...
I come to the edge and trust my
Higher Power to give me wings to fly.
