Willingness to Believe
Let us make haste to reassure you. We found that as soon
as we were able to lay aside prejudice and express even a
willingness to believe in a Power greater than ourselves, we
commenced to get results, even though it was impossible for
any of us to fully define or comprehend that Power, which is God.

- Alcoholics Anonymous, (We Agnostics) p. 46

Thought to Ponder
I came, I came to, I came to believe.

AA-related 'Alconym'

Hope, alkie. Do not be discouraged! I was 'discouraged' sharing at the doorstep of Step 3 my fears of loosening my grip. What would happen? I was rewarded for sharing my fear. My group said I was still at Step 2. Coming to believe! I was directed to the lines right after the Steps. "Do not be discouraged. We are not saints. The point is, that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines." Was I willing? You betcha. I made my first 3rd Step decision to come to the first meeting every day. One global decision, I no longer had to decide each morning. One big decision. And yes, I came to believe and am still growing spiritually right up to now. I just am so very grateful too for God directing my thinking to better do His will when I humbly ask. Bless us all, dears!
