Good morning. My thought for today is Willngness. The big book reminds me that if I have decided I want sobriety and that I am willing to go to any length to get it, then I am ready to take the steps that will help me get it. But, the willingness must be there. In the seventh step prayer we say My creator I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character that stands in the way of my usefulness. Again, we need willingness. When I sponsor new people, I can show them the path they ought to take, but I cannot force them to take it. They must decide for themselves if they will take it. They need to be willing to go to any length to get it. In my case, the any length simply meant surrendering to the truth that of myself I was nothing, that God would work the miracle and I would receive the benefit of sobriety.
