#63 Weeding the Garden (Mar 4) - Natasha M. (Abington, PA)
At one time, Natasha's life revolved around drinking. Drinking seemed an essential part of her life and her career and she gradually slipped into a place where she no longer could control, or enjoy it. Natasha found the program after visiting a treatment facility. Later, she was also diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder and although she sought outside assistance, she also discovered the healing power of the three pillars of the program: Unity, Service, and Recovery. Today, Natasha is a beacon of hope and spends much of her time in service to the community.
She talks at length about a commitment to the Cooperation with the Professional Community (CPC) in her area. If you want more information on this service structure and committee within AA, visit https://www.aa.org/pages/en_US/cooperation-with-the-professional-community-cpc-committees
WEEDING THE GARDEN
The essence of all growth is a willingness to make a change for the better and then an unremitting willingness to shoulder whatever responsibility this entails.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 115
By the time I had reached Step Three I had been freed of my dependence on alcohol, but bitter experience has shown me that continuous sobriety requires continuous effort. Every now and then I pause to take a good look at my progress. More and more of my garden is weeded each time I look, but each time I also find new weeds sprouting where I thought I had made my final pass with the blade. As I head back to get the newly sprouted weed (it's easier when they are young), I take a moment to admire how lush the growing vegetables and flowers are, and my labors are rewarded. My sobriety grows and bears fruit.
