*Quote:”My friend in AA had been there. In his words, he ‘had been a drunk,’ so he knew about addiction, the helplessness, the regret, the struggle. But he also knew about hope and freedom and helping others. The old dead branches of his struggle had been cut away…’With God’s help’ my friend would say, ’with God’s help.’ (Prayer)God, thank you for pruning away what is harmful in me so I can grow beautiful in your love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
