Moments of Spiritual Awareness

On a night in a hotel in Cleveland, Ohio, long after I had abandoned hope, when I was without liquor or the means of getting it, and when I believe I was very close to a second suicide attempt, a man appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Through a series of remarkable coincidences--he was not supposed to be in town, I was not supposed to be in town, neither had the other's address--he found me on this night and told me that if I wanted to stop drinking, he would take me to a place where I could stop drinking. We left that night for a hospital in Florida. I did not find AA until later, but I have never, since that night, felt fear or dread or apprehension. I believe that God put out his hand to me that night and continued to sustain me until I was able to grow in the Twelve Steps to confident sobriety.
