My friend suggested what then seems a novel idea… “Why don’t
you choose your own conception of God?” That statement hit me hard. It melted
the icy intellectual mountain in whose shadow I had lived and shivered many
years. I stood in the sunlight at last. It was only a matter of being willing
to believe in a power greater than myself. Nothing more was required of me to
make my beginning.
I remember the times I looked up into the sky and reflected
on who started it all, and how when I came to Celebrate Recovery, an
understanding of some description of the spiritual dimension became a necessary
adjunct to a stable sobriety. After reading a variety of versions, including
the scientific, of the great explosion, I went for simplicity and made the God
of my understanding the great power that made the explosion possible. With the
vastness of the universe under his command, he would, no doubt, be able to
guide my thinking and actions if I was prepared to accept his guidance. But I
could not expect help if I turn my back on that help and when my own way. I
became willing to believe and I have had 6 years of stable and satisfying
sobriety.
