#66 The Key of Willingness (Mar 7) - Susan D. (Maple Glen, PA)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Susan shares about the importance of willingness. Even the tiniest crack of willingness can be enough to open the door to a complete change. Today, Susan turns to her Higher Power daily to ask that she be relieved of the bondage of self and then maintains that through connections in the program and fellowship.
THE IDEA OF FAITH
Do not let any prejudice you may have against spiritual terms deter you from honestly asking yourself what they mean to you.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 47
The idea of faith is a very large chunk to swallow when fear, doubt and anger abound in and around me. Sometimes just the idea of doing something different, something I am not accustomed to doing, can eventually become an act of faith if I do it regularly, and do it without debating whether it’s the right thing to do. When a bad day comes along and everything is going wrong, a meeting or a talk with another drunk often distracts me just enough to persuade me that everything is not quite as impossible, as overwhelming as I had thought. In the same way, going to a meeting or talking to a fellow alcoholic are acts of faith; I believe I’m arresting my disease. These are ways I slowly move toward faith in a Higher Power.
