I often repeat the phrase, “You can only plant the seed, you don’t know how much BS (manure) it will need before it grows.” I’m sitting here crying tonight as I write this. Grateful tears for the times I planted seeds by carrying a message of recovery without even knowing it. Tonight, an old friend Zoomed into a meeting after contacting me, because a family member had questions about program. What a blessing, the conversation that must have happened was so long ago that I don’t even remember the context. And I certainly didn’t think this friend needed the program. Tonight, I pray to be a message of recovery, not a mess. I pray to be clean with my food so that I may hear when HP needs me to deliver HP’s message. It’s not my decision. After countless years of telling people about OA, because I thought they needed it, almost everyone who has walked through the doors has been because someone who saw me change told someone else about that thing I do.
Thank you HP and thank you OA.
