So many of us have found a higher power in our recovery but what moments has yours helped out, check mine out and tell me if this is coincidence
1:prayed in church for the first time in my life for help to stay sober for 1day =open my eyes and see my name PAUL on a cushion and the only person in a town of 7000 who I knew goes to AA, I don’t drink or smoke for 8 days and ended up at my first AA meeting.
2:sat on TS asking for help as my cravings were so bad, I was on about 9/10 I was going to drink = postman delivers my first AA 24 hour coin that I’ve never seen before, it said to thine own self be true. Cravings went away.
3::was in a good place sobriety wise and had got into the habit of morning prayer but I realised that I never prayed for my children bc they were not in my life for 20 years and it just didn’t enter my head but sobriety had given us a few brief moments of contact so that morning I prayed that my children were given strength and courage = later that day my daughter phones me saying dad I think I drink too much can you help me, of course I could.
4:literally everytime I pick up a beer some one from AA will phone or message me.
There’s stuff going on out there we know nothing about, what’s yours.
Omg how incredible is this!!! There’s NO WAY that these are all coincidences. HP is working in your life my friend 
wow! I just 
this post!
I was praying on the way home from work today for my son; I hadn’t heard from him in awhile and I was having almost a panic attack. He (thankfully) just called me and he’s fine. Thank you God…
This is going to sound strange but if i read aa books, before or after a relaps, i always read right away exactly what i was feeling
I picked up ciggs again lastnight.
Today i read about step2 and tridition 1 which both eplain higher powers
Pretty interesting how you have had higher power expariences today also.
The patch is on again… because the reading made perfect sence to me.
Quote “my daughter phones me saying dad I think I drink too much can you help me, of course I could.” 
I’m in tears here. I can definitely relate. God has answered many a prayer with my daughter.
God is good.
Its no coincidence. God is great. There is no greater love than the love of God.
That’s definitely the universe getting your attention!!
Love this topic Paul.
I remember starting up again with the “God Thing”. I’m a recovering catholic. And lost faith in God for a long time. Anyway God reeled me back in in my 40s. I was at a Lutheran bible study group quite a few years ago. And this lady was saying she prayed for a parking spot. And what do you know? A car backed out right then and there for her. I thought she was bonkers praying for a parking spot and thinking God granted it to her. Now I’m not so sure. Who the hell was I to judge? I think I been looking too hard to find God. All I know is he’s worked some miracles big and small in my life. If this thread keeps going I be happy to share some.
share away, I was hoping for some OMG stories but not much response. That’s God for ya, doesn’t like to show off 
Recently was trying to make some difficult financial and living plans. The moment I sat down to do so I came into a windfall that suddenly made it easy.
The extra was someone keeping a promise to me that they didn’t have to, in response to a promise I made to them that I didn’t have to, but was doing my best.
A coincidence? The timing, perhaps definitely. But also I’m doing what I can at honest recovery and am blessed to be surrounded by still better people than me.
All of which make me extremely grateful!
my other half Laura lost her job 2 months ago she received her final wage for time worked of about 500 so we knew that was the end of that but the next month she got another wage slip with 800 and it said the payment was for Icfg she phoned her ex employer and no one knew what ICFG was so I googled it and the first thing that popped up was international Christian fellowship, so I told her don’t panic it’s from god 
. We still don’t know what it was for but it definitely helped while she looked for another job which by the way she has now got and with a better wage than her last job.
I beg to differ. I think he’s always showing off.
Cows in a rainbow
That’s 2 ends of one big rainbow
can’t argue with that 
Ok. So I’ll share one of my big gun God answered our prayers story. Our child was in the psych ward in California. Every time wifey and I tried to visit it just made things agitated and worse for my child. They said if they didn’t get my child meds they would have to file or report a code 5125 thing. That’s where they physically force themselves on you hold you down and make you take the meds. We were devastated and they suggested we leave so things might calm down. We went to the laundromat or launderette to wash child’s clothes. They called and said things aren’t getting better and they were going to have to invoke the 5125. My wife and I just started crying uncontrollably and she prayed God. Please Please Do Something!! Ten minutes later my cell phone (Mobile) rings. And they tell us my child took the meds voluntarily and they don’t need the 5125.
Thank you God.
Woke up sober today, yet another miracle. Have a good day, I take it all is well with your children now 
Thanks to God yes they are. And being a parent that’s about the only thing that matters right? And all three of them got wonderful spouses. Thanks for asking.
What an awesome thread! God is so awesome! Miracles DO happen EVERYDAY! Blessings to you ALL!
Honestly, there are too many to retell…but my biggest most recent is the fact that on july 13 my best friend who had been my best friend since we were 15 (28years)had been sober for 2 years overdosed with one use…it was laced with something…under criminal investigation…and I never even had the urge to use…I stayed sober.My husband, who has been in active addiction most of his life and had never dealt with death sober…is staying sober through this. I still grieve and hurt every single day . I will be 4 years December 23rd…
so sad about your friend but your god still has plans for you.
