About the only faith I had while I was drinking was the faith that if I drank I would feel better. I acted on that faith mostly every night -- and a lot of days -- for thirty years. The problem was that once I was feeling better from the first couple I wanted to feel better still. I couldn't stop wanting to feel better. Finally all I cared about was feeling better. The more I tried to feel better, the worse my life became. Then, through no conscious effort on my part, God graced me with a moment of clarity that led me to AA.
Just getting sober did not automatically infuse me with faith, but God gave me another gift -- willingness. The willingness to take the actions suggested by AA despite the fog that surrounded my thinking. I BELIEVED the program worked because I saw it work in you, but I still had no faith that it would work for me. That faith came (and continues to develop) slowly, built on the bedrock of my own sober life experiences.
If you're new confused about this
faith thing. Don't worry about it. Just take the suggested actions
and work the steps and faith will come. If you are not willing to
taking the actions, then pray for willingness for without willingness,
faith, for me at least, is impossible.
