Overnight

Daily Reflection: It Doesn't Happen Overnight - "The most common alcoholic fantasy seems to be: 'If I just don't drink, everything will be all right.' Once the fog cleared for me, I say - for the first time - the mess my life had become. I had family, work, financial and legal problems; I was hung up on old religious ideas; there were sides of my character to which I was inclined to stay blind because they easily could have convinced me that I was hopeless and pushed me toward escape again. The Big Book guided me in resolving all of my problems. But it didn't happen overnight - and certainly not automatically - with no effort on my part. I need always to recognize God's mercy and blessings that shine through any problem I have to face."
