I'm Part of the Whole

At once I became a part – if only a tiny part – of the cosmos…

When I 1st came to Celebrate Recovery, I decided that “they” were very nice people – perhaps a little naïve, a little too friendly, but basically decent earnest people (with whom I had nothing in common). I saw “them” at meetings – after all that was where “they” existed. I shook hands with “them” and, when I went out the door, I forgot about “them”.

Then one day, my Higher Power, Jesus Christ, whom I did not fully believe could help me, arranged to create a community project outside of Celebrate Recovery, but one which happened to involve many Celebrate Recovery members. We worked together, I got to know “them” as people. I came to admire “them”, even to the point to begin to like “them” and, in spite of myself, I began to enjoy “them”. “Their” practice of the program in their daily lives – not just in talk at meetings –attracted me and I wanted what they had. Suddenly, the “they” became “we”. I have not had a drink since.
