Desperation

 Desperation comes in two forms.  One is that you run out of something and are desperate to get more.  The other is when you have had too much of something and cannot do anymore.  A drug such as alcohol might be a good example.  You run out of it and are desperate to get more such as when you are having a party or you are in fact addicted.  The other desperation is when you have had too much of the alcohol and cannot stop on your own.  You become desperate to stop.  The first desperation would be like Jesus at Cana when they ran out of wine at the wedding feast.  The second desperation is a true gift.  You have reached the end of the line for drinking, so you desperately reach out for help.  In the first case, Jesus was a gift.  In the second case AA is the gift.
