I attend a very special meeting every Sunday and am surrounded by love. Unconditional love. Accepting love. Encouraging love. Just lots of love. And I leave that meeting every Sunday with new puzzle pieces that put me back together.
Today's puzzle piece came from someone with just two months of sobriety under his belt. Here's how I integrated his story:
I'm sitting on the fence. God is on one side of the fence, inviting me over. I'm interested; a little doubtful about what it means to "join" that side. On the other side of the fence is the Devil, luring me with things I like, easy ways out, numbness from the pain of reality, illusion. I shift my gaze from one side to the other.
God calls to me. I want to go but I worry about the pain of facing truth over there and sitting on the fence feels a little more comfortable at the moment.
The Devil calls to me - asks me what I'm going to do. I tell him I plan on sitting on the fence just a little longer till I make my decision. And he says, "I own the fence."
I believe it's time to jump ship - fast. Answer God's call - NOW. No more fence sitting.
