Borrow mine
I said “Jim, maybe you could use my Higher Power.” I told him I was sure he wouldn’t mind. Jim thanked me and we never spoke of the God thing again.
When I came into AA, I was spiritually bankrupt. Due to years of heavy drinking and a series of life experiences, I was depleted of any belief system. By the time I was 17, I had lost six people in my family to death: my father when I was 8, my sister when I was 9, my mother when I was 14, my grandfather and my step-grandfather when I was 17. I also had a very close friend die when I was 17. As far as I could tell, I didn’t think God was loving and on my side in life.
