#97 A Wide Arc of Gratitude (Apr 7) - Tom G. (Fort Meyers, FL)
Manage episode 289328303 series 2842123
Tom believed his drinking, passing out and blacking out were all a part of normal drinking. It wasn't until he tried controlling his drinking that he realized how much of a problem he had. Today he finds his Wide Arc of Gratitude for the program, and for the members of AA that keep the program going.
A WIDE ARC OF GRATITUDE
And, speaking for Dr. Bob and myself, I gratefully declare that had it not been for our wives, Anne and Lois, neither of us could have lived to see A.A.'s beginning.
THE A.A. WAY OF LIFE, p. 67
Am I capable of such generous tribute and gratitude to my wife, parents and friends, without whose support I might never have survived to reach A.A.'s doors? I will work on this and try to see the plan my Higher Power is showing me which links our lives together.
