'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 program I was

afraid to reach for recovery. I was

afraid to try to be an over-comer and 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 anymore. 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.
