The Promises

We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. 
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. 
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. 
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. 
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. 
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away. 
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. 
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. 
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. 
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.

Richard was telling me about hearing a well known comedian sharing in a meeting about his past. He said he was the 'anti promises'

• Where there is peace I shall bring discord 
• Where there is hope I shall bring doubt 

I said that I could totally relate to that, he said Yes but he was stilling using at the time.
