I hit 6 years today. And, unrelatedly, one of my sponsees brought be a present from a pilgrimage to the AA Akron Intergroup.
During this past year, I noticed that I’ve had a spiritual awakening. It’s wasn’t like being struck by lightning, as some folks claim to experience. It’s more of a quiet shift. Like waking up slowly.
I’ve spent a great deal of time examining self worth, and continuing to engage in recovery. I’ve come to a deeper understanding of forgiveness.
Six years ago, I just wanted to stop drinking and stop having horrendous hangovers. I had no idea the rewards that were ahead of me as the result of thoroughly following this path.
