Will power - force of will - became one of my tools in recovery.
When I used my will power to schedule appointments with my therapist.
When I used my force of will to get to a meetIng.
When my willpower was directed into reading the big book.
When my force of will was applied to building a picture of a happy, sober life.....
These actions then gave me greater strength of will, deeper commitment, more tools.
Will power is absolutely a part of my recovery..... it was about how I channeled it.
