Poor Me, Pour Me

I ONCE HEARD a fellow AA say, "Sobriety is God's gift to us, and what we do with sobriety is our gift to God." There are times when I am so overwhelmed with this gift, I become teary eyed. I sometimes ask: Why me? Why have I been chosen? There are so many people with this disease--literally millions who never receive the gift, and who, in my humble opinion, are just as worthy as I.
