A Letter from a Christian who followed our suggestion
that she look up and attend a Christian fellowship meeting—attended by hundreds—in
Orange County. Thanks to Jennifer.
Dear Dick,
I spoke w/your son a few days ago and I want to say GOD
BLESS YOU for creating this christian recovery program. I am sure you can
understand my motivation and frustration in finding a 12 step where mentioning
the name of Jesus as my HIGHER POWER WOULD NOT GET ME SHUNNED AND LECTURED-this
has sent me running on many many false starts on my journey to sobriety and to
participate in GOD'S purpose for my life.I have been drinking or using for
34years off and on (mostly on) now-I am
54 years old currently living with my husband,a practicing alcoholic for
seven years. now, I am cut off, isolated unemployed and except for your
outreach and the Holy spirit ALONE. Last night I did attend the Fri. night
meeting. It was like a church service/AA meeting for alcoholics. there were
several hundred people there and I could see clearly, I AM NOT ALONE.I didn't
connect w/anyone last night, it was all i could do to obey my father's
instruction to JUST GO.I know that fellowship and service is ESSENTIAL to any
hope for recovery but with all the broken relationships and experiences with
other people leave me sceptical at best.but one day at a time, one second at a
time is all i can manage today. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU DICK!!! MY FRIEND
AND BROTHER IN JESUS CHRIST-THE HEALER, THE KING AND THE LORD OF ALL THOSE WHO
WILL COME.love, Jennifer. . .
