"Walk Softly and Carry a Big Book" - Where do you find recovery? Twelve steps past any lengths.
Are we willing to go to any length to find peace and serenity? Are we will willing to go to any length to stay clean and sober?
Are we willing to work the Steps and travel the road to recovery?
When I came in, I was willing to do what was suggested. I was even willing to do what I was told, maybe not at first
, but I came to realize, if I wanted to get well, the blueprint was there for me to follow.
I was willing to get a home group, get a sponsor and get involved in service. I would not have the recovery that I have today if I hadn't got involved in service. It was a vital part of my recovery and still is today.
When I couldn't find the willingness within myself, I had to pray for the willingness to be willing!
Going back to where I came from was not an option.
