The Kingdom Within

By the grace of God, I haven't found it necessary to take that first drink since Christmas morning 1983. For this I owe the program and the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous. I belong to the world's best home group; sponsor people and am sponsored; have been active in general service as a GSR (general service representative) and DCM (district committee member); and attend five or six meetings a week. These meetings, like the ones in the other two states I've lived in, have opened my eyes spiritually and deepened my trust in God as I understand him. The only problem, for what is apparently a sizable majority of AA members I know, is that God as I understand him is a loving Christian God--and that seems to make many of my AA friends uneasy!
