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
