~ LOVE ~
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
The supreme happiness in life is the
conviction that we are loved.
Victor Hugo
:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:. .:~*~:
All of my life I felt unloved. Deep in
my soul I was also convinced that I was
unworthy of love. Nonetheless I craved
love deeply.
In a desperate attempt to feel OK, I
forsook the God of my childhood and
declared that there was no God. I
spiralled further and further into the
depths of despair, unable to feel or
give love. In my downward spiral, I
turned to food to block feelings of
unworthiness.
I entered Program dying of addiction as
well as the deep sorrow of the
loveless. I thought I was different from
everyone else, that no one could
possibly understand me. I had no peers,
no real friends.
However, once in Program I found others
just like me! I started to belong and to
develop true friendships. In my desire
to belong, I worked the Twelve Steps as
others did and found a God of My
Understanding. GOMU is a loving
God. This God supports and guides me
while as helping me learn to give and
receive love. Love has brought me back
to life.
ONE DAY AT A TIME ...
Hand-in-hand with my Higher Power, I love and am loved.
