Spirit of Fellowship
Where
would we give this program back if we did not have a spirit of fellowship?
To share
our hopes and strength with where else could we find the really true Friends?
Who would
stand by us in adversity when we find ourselves isolated by the disease?
A disease
that has always made us feels alone and hopelessly lost to everything
All my
old friends dropped away when I need support I know I could not do it alone
I know I
was alone too long and I needed the strength that comes only from that spirit
I needed
the power of the group and a God of my understanding to help me thru life
Our
program is based on the hope and love and our strength is from caring about
others
Many have
been in dark and lonely places too they are our hope and we are their hope
They
understand they are our brothers and sisters in fellowship of the spirit
They
understand and they do not condemn us they have compassion
that
comes from the spirit of fellowship
We have
this bond of love trust and friendship in our common bonds of being in recovery
As I
learn to trust them I participate in a new friendship
that give me understanding strength and
love
I need
support and I always have found it through my program and in my home group
I learned
the lesson of my life thru the teachings of this fellowship I have real freedom
I have
real happiness today because I practice the 12 steps of recovery
With out
all the people who came before me I would not have stayed sober
And I
would still be lost in a sea of despair
thank God
for AA and the fellowship that is here today
And thank
God those others are finding the same trust and love we had found
Yes without
this fellowship we would quickly lose are hope and strength and be lost again
Our
Twelfth Step tell us to reach out to others and carry the message of our program
Its then
the spirit of the fellowship shines thru offering its experience strength and
hope
Thru a
loving caring God who has blessed us with recovery to carry to others who suffer
God bless
each of you
