For me, it happened by reading the book with a recovered alcoholic - my sponsor. It really does walk you through each step..
I heard it summed up really great last night by a guy at my home group:
"When I became willing to go to any length - I had already placed my faith in something greater than myself. That willingness alone, let God enter my life"
I found that to be one of the best summations of what the book calls "A flimsy reed" really being a power greater than we can comprehend. I have no conception of God - only that there is something more than me running the show - it is really that simple. The moment I think I know something, or have insight to absolute truth - I can pretty much gaurantee that I am off track.
We are like men who have lost their legs - they NEVER grow new ones - no matter how well you know the book, how often and effectively you pray, how many people you sponsor, how effeciently you work the steps, how many commitments you have, how many meetings you attend....
Something more than 'I' is at work.
