In this episode of Sober Readings, I read Chapter 7 of Came to Believe, titled "Coincidence?"
I share the opening personal stories: "Why? I Don’t Know," "A Rainy Night," "God Was the Postman," "Mathematical Miracle," and "Something Was Wrong." These accounts highlight those moments in recovery where events line up so perfectly—through a timely letter, a chance meeting on a stormy night, or guidance that feels anything but random—that they point to a Higher Power at work.
It's a gentle nudge from skepticism toward faith, tying right into Step Two: coming to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. These real A.A. experiences show how what looks like coincidence often reveals something deeper, offering hope and encouragement for anyone questioning the spiritual side of sobriety.
If you're exploring faith, wrestling with doubts, or just need a reminder that help can arrive in unexpected ways, join me for this thoughtful reading. In recovery, the line between coincidence and miracle gets pretty blurry sometimes.
Take a deep breath, center yourself, and take what you need from today’s message. Let’s begin.
Remember, just for today: don’t drink, go to a meeting, and keep coming back.
Have a beautiful, sober day.
