'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."

:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
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.
