God first - the rest later

Today was a very emotional day for Cait and me. We went to an AA meeting this morning with Dr. Petro. When we arrived in our jeep, the meeting members poured out of the church and surrounded us with singing. Both Cait & I cried. 

After they introduced themselves, we introduced ourselves and told our stories - both of us had brothers with addiction. Then four members of the AA group told their stories. 

Each story began with “God First!” to which the members respond, “the rest later.” Or “Alcohol” with the response “is powerful, cunning, and takes everything.” Then we all danced with joy.
