Tauranga Mental Health Blog - Alcoholic's Anonymous and keeping close to God

Many years ago I helped write my friend Michael's incredible story about his overcoming severe alcohol addiction, debilitating schizophrenia and his having recovered from Parkinson's disease and losing his mind. You can read his story at Church of God (7th day's) Now what?. There he shared how Alcoholic's Anonymous (AA) and keeping in contact with God saved his life.

I am pleased to report that 15 years later Michael has never relapsed in the time I have known him. He still keeps life simple, prays and walks and maintains good relationships with his small circle of friends.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
