#74 The God Idea (Mar 15) - Edwin M. (Granby, MA BWO Rwanda)
As a student, a scientist, an immigrant, and a child of refugees, Edwin's experience includes tragic loss and unfathomable family trauma. He shares beautifully on his journey of recovery, gaining the tools he needs to stay sober, help others and continue feeding his curiosity on faith traditions. His is truly an inspiring story. To anyone struggling with the concept of a higher power, Edwin will tell you to "make your higher power whatever works for you to help you get through the struggles."
THE GOD IDEA
When we saw others solve their problems by a simple reliance upon the Spirit of the Universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God. Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 52
Like a blind man gradually being restored to sight, I slowly groped my way to the Third Step. Having realized that only a Power greater than myself could rescue me from the hopeless abyss I was in, I knew that this was a Power that I had to grasp, and that it would be my anchor in the midst of a sea of woes. Even though my faith at that time was minuscule, it was big enough to make me see that it was time for me to discard my reliance on my prideful ego and replace it with the steadying strength that could only come from a Power far greater than myself.
