It is great to have one significant success story in anyone’s life. But two?
Meet Garrett A. Morgan.
The son of former slaves, Morgan conceived and patented the three-signal traffic light in 1923. He had witnessed a tragic automobile accident on a Cleveland street corner, and could not rest until he had done his part to make the streets safer for everyone.
But this was his second great invention. In 1911, Morgan responded to a factory fire in New York City which killed 146 people, by inventing the first gas mask.
Morgan accomplished these amazing feats against all odds. And you can do the same thing. Two amazing success stories are in your future: (a) sobriety and (b) recovery.
Recovery Step: You can do this. God will give you the power to get sober and stay that way. “He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless” (Isaiah 40:29).
