My thought for today is willingness. The dictionary defines willingness as the state of being open and ready to act, change, or accept something. It doesn't say I have to like it. I drank for a long time, 29 years to be exact. Almost 29 years ago, I decided to stop and found after several failed attempts, that I could not. Willingness is the point where self-will softens enough for something new to happen. When I realized that I needed help in with stopping, I became willing to accept the help of a power greater than Bernie. I have learned over the last three decades that God can help me stop drinking and help me stay stopped and that He will help me with my other problems too. I don't always like the answers I receive when I ask for help, but I have to remember I stood in line for this.
