Sometimes I become so busy staring at my problems that I miss the guidance I'm being given. When I become willing to let go of the need to do it by myself, I can listen to others and receieve direction from my Higher Power.
- Courage to Change
Often have to pray for the willingness to be willing. My anger or my resentment blocks me from that good orderly direction. I am incapable of seeing the divine orderly good in the situation.
I had a willingness to turn my addiction over to my Higher Power. Why am I so slow at trying to turn other things in my life over to Him/Her too.
Just for today, I am willing to be willing to go to any lengtht to maintain my sobriety (soundness of mind).
This program doesn't work unless I can find it within myself to apply all the principles to all my affairs.
How this program works: Honest, Open-mindedness and Willingness.

A willingness to get up and start a new day with a fresh start. Each day is a new beginning, what I do with it is up to me.

It has been brought home to me in the last week about who willing I need be. It is part of HOW the program works. If I am not willing, then I am stuck where I am at and unable to grow and move forward. I really want to be able to work two days a week. Each day will be for 3 hours. It means being willing to practice self-care, eating the right, right kind of rest and relaxation, along with exercise remembering that my disease is four-fold, - mental, emotional, spiritual and physical, Again, it is about how willing I am to look at my day.

When all is said and done, willingness is everything. - Frank D. eor.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=spuds&thread=4411&page=1When I read this post by Lildee, the words that came to mind, "Don't you love it when a plan comes together. It is nice to have your thoughts affirmed. Might not always be said in your words, but when you look at it honestly, you can find your own truth if you are willing to look at it. Even more important, is the willingness to admit you are wrong. That was never an option for me. Admitting that I was wrong, meant that I was stupid. I couldn't see it as having done something not right, because that meant that I was less than. I had to be willing to let go of the old tapes, be honest, open my mind to other things, and be willing to change.

How the program works. Willing to go to any length to maintain my sobriety. My drug of choice is but a symptom of my disease. The problem is me.
I can't, we can.
