It can seem that being happy and single are two ideas that don’t fit together. What a great discovery to learn that our joy does not rely on a relationship or even marriage! It relies on following the will of God through working the Steps.
In this edition of “Happy, Joyous, and … Single”, we will hear the many transformations that Higher Power has accomplished in members who embraced the single and sober path. One member shares how his time sober and single allowed him to make many mistakes in learning how to relate with others before, not after, meeting his future spouse.
Another single member shares that understanding base salary versus bonuses helped her learn the difference between love and lust, while yet another member shares the contentment of living the single life.
In this edition, we will explore the great surprise of many, “… joyous freedom we could otherwise never know.” (SA 2).
