While I was using I never really thought of God, and when I did I always said that God is a system, trying to be what I thought was 'scientific'. I am seeing many signs these days, too many to mention. A small thing that happened yesterday but i'd love to share with you: I was supposed to go to an NA meeting next to my house and 30 minutes after it finishes I had a doctors' appointment which i had time to get to 10 minutes before it started. NA was at 9. finishes at 10:30, Doc's appointment was at 11. Seemed like a nice plan. Got off work at 6 got in my car and subconciously headed towards a meeting an hour away where my old rehab. was. After getting on a long one way expressway i decided that what the hell, i'll just go the meeting far away. Got there and the meeting was a reading from step 2. I thought oh no i was just in a meeting that did step 2 yesterday. I thought it would be boring. What the people said in there realted to me in such a way that i felt i was everyone in that room. i left the meeting in amazement. I drove back and realized half way that there was more than 2 hrs to kill to the docs. appointment. I did'nt know what to do for these two hrs and i was near the clinic and home was far. Something said in the meeting rang in my head to ask someone what to do. I don't ever do that by nature. I never take someones opinion in anything. I am the decision maker. I know best. No one can help me but myself . I have all the answers. I thought who can I call. Let me call the last person i would ever ask for advice, that was my wife. i pulled over 500 yards from the clinic and called her. I asked her what to do, feeling like a total idiot. she was surprised and told me to head over to the clinic and give it a try. I settled at her second option which was to call. The nurse answered me and said "Oh my God, I was just trying to look up your number because 3 people cannot make their appointments and I wanted to see if you could make it early. I couldnt believe it. I got into the really busy city street where I NEVER find a parking spot except blocks down and as I get to the front of the building a car pulls out and I park right in fron of the door. It was a very good meeting. Sillty but I had to tell you. Love, Magellan
