FINDING "A REASON TO BELIEVE"
The willingness to grow is the essence of all spiritual development.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 171
A line from a song goes, " . . . . and I look to find a reason to
believe . . . " It reminds me that at one time I was not able to
find a reason to believe that my life was all right. Even though
my life had been saved by my coming to A. A., three moths later I
went out and drank again. Someone told me: "You don't have to
believe. Aren't you willing to believe that there is a reason for
your life, even though you may not know yourself what that reason
is, or that you may not sometimes know the right way to behave?"
When I saw how willing I was to believe there was a reason for my
life, then I could start to work on the Steps. Now when I begin
with, "I am willing. . . .," I am using the key that leads to
action, honesty, and an openness to a Higher Power moving through
my life.
