Good to here from you! I'm a little short on time, but I am rather compulsive 
about returning so here I am
        I guess It might seem a little weird that somebody would focus so 
much on God at a recovery channel. Actually to me it doesn't, but I am not 
sure what others do talk about, I guess "other recovery issues. I have become 
acutely aware that I have my recovery based upon my spritual condition, and 
my spiritual condition is based upon my relationship with God. It is only God 
that can right my spiritual sickness. For me, the origin of every recovery 
issue , problem, difficulty, defect, whatever is an unwillingness to practice 
step three. Every problem I have with myself or others is a reflection of my 
self will run riot. If acceptance is that key to all my problems it is 
acceptance of God's will for me and others, not acceptance merely of the 
situation. 
        I get some weird looks and comments like fanatical for my beliefs, 
but it doesn't seem to phase me at all. I have been rocketed into the forth 
dimension of existance of which we have never known existed as the Bid Book 
says. I am driven by a new force today, inspired by a new force, governed by 
a new force. I'm not exactly sure why I am telling you this except its what 
my fingers are typing.
        At work the other day my boss was going on about how nobody can prove 
the existance of God and that nobody knows for sure...nobodies seen and I 
just turned and looked at him and I said I've seen and I know. He said 
"what?" and I repeated myself because its true.. I have seen his hand in 
everything I have done in my recovery and much more still. My boss just stood 
and stared into my eyes as if to check my sanity and I couldn't even look 
down or away  if I had wanted to. Its a good thing we have a good 
relationship and he knows me abit or it might not have ended so uneventful, 
but thats the kind of thing I get from people. Its a little disheartening 
knowing that there is absolutly nothing I can do but live the Christian life 
for myself and that nothing I ever say will convince anyone. Kind of like 
carrying the AA message through the walk. I guess the convincing part is Gods 
job.
        God Bless you and keep you well and thank you again for providing 
this mailing service.
