Cold Sober

For fifteen years, almost every time I work or think about our Second Step, considering the Power greater than ourselves, I am reminded of a large refrigerator in a ward at a Minnesota state hospital. It's not really idol worship, but it is a way for me to gratefully recall who I am and how amazing it is that I'm sober today by the grace of God. The Second Step is for me the Step of expecting good things and expecting them not from me but from a Power greater than myself.
