I believe in a Higher Power who blessed me with gifts and abilities. President Kennedy said, "To whom much is given, much is expected." I expect a great deal from myself. And i feel that one of the worst feelings is feeling that I have disappointed myself and others.
When I reflect on the changes in my life, I see that God has worked through people to teach me how to be a giver more than a taker. I am so grateful to the men and women who have shown me that it is better to give than to receive. My buddy Brian drove me to many support group meetings. Giving rides to a newcomer made him happy. He was grateful that he was in a position to give help to a new member of the fellowship.
God worked through him to teach me about love and kindness. He was a family man and he welcomed me into his family. I was kind of like the Prodigal Son whom he welcomed with a feast of succulent lobsters. He was humble and told me he "was proud of his humility".
