End-beginning - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

ted · 04-30-2004, 06:16 AM

FROM BILL'S STORY-BIG BOOK 3RD EDIT.

"NO WORDS CAN TELL OF THE LONLINESS AND
DESPAIR I FOUND IN THAT MORASS OF SELF-PITY.
QUICKSAND STRETCHED AROUND ME IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
I HAD MET MY MATCH.
I HAD BEEN OVERWHELMED.
ALCOHOL WAS MY MASTER."

"IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF BEING WILLING
TO BELIEVE IN A POWER GREATER THAN MYSELF.
NOTHING MORE WAS REQUIRED OF ME TO MAKE MY BEGGINING."

...a matter of being willing...

Once I became willing, some obstacles seemed not so big anymore.

Good post Ted,

Thanks.

When I felt in my heart, for the very first time, that I had somehow found the willingness to change, I started fighting the good fight. Still am. Yeah mac, HOW.
