DEPRESSION HEALED AFTER FINDING CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

NORA STEPP

Just coming into Christian Science a year and a half ago, I am, one step at a time, falling in love with Love, God. And each step of growth has brought me more and more blessings.

In 1985, I agreed to admit myself into a psychiatric hospital, after being diagnosed with bipolar manic depression, after eight years of drinking heavily.

While there, I attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. At the end of those meetings, we would recite the Lord's Prayer. In the beginning, I would refuse to say the prayer. But one time I opened my eyes and looked around the room, thinking if there was a God, instead of being a punishing God, He'd be smiling down on us with love. Suddenly I felt love flowing from me to each and everyone in that group. Instead of alcoholics or drug addicts, I saw beautiful brothers and sisters.
