One of My Feet

ONE of my feet is called Past and the other is called Future and the step I am taking is called the Twenty-four Hour Program. But I try to keep going in the right direction and I try to follow the AA Program. Often I stumble, sometimes I fall; but I fall to rise and somehow I always manage to gain firmer ground. I feel that I am slowly leaving behind the fog-bound alcoholic swamps. But my feeling is not that of arrogance, my feeling is less of victory than of miracle, favor, privilege, a gift from God, His will not mine, something outside of human measurement.
