Willingness
I needed the willingness to change but was real hard thing
to do when I first got to AA
Surrender with out any reservation took forever to find I needed total accept and surrender
The biggest danger of reservations is I cannot go to any
length to stay sober
Going to any lengths is a question of is I willing to change
thru the steps
I wanted everybody and everything else to change so my life
could be perfect
Quickly found out it doesn't work that way I had to go to
any lengths to find a way out
And this had to be without any reservations of my doing it
my own way
I needed willingness to change me and my attitudes not
everyone else and their attitudes
All I had to do is become willing to change most of the ways
I was thinking and start to listen
They told me life is very simple not easy but simple and
what we give we get back
I learned I was responsible for every experience in my life
the good and the worst
Every thing I do today is creating a new future for me free
from the disease
My experiences show in the way I think and the beliefs I
hold dear to me
What I choose to believe in today can expand and enrich my
world
Each day is exciting joyous free and a hopeful experience of
just living life
Living in the same world with the same set of circumstances
I experience life differently today when I became willing to
change my attitudes
And accept God into my life changes were God never judges or
criticizes me
He accepted me, as I knew I would change my life
But that would not happen till I was willing to let go of
all my old behaviors
Today I try very hard to keep a positive attitude and try
not to dwell the negative
I just try to stay in today trying my best to do Gods will
for me today
God bless each of you
