From "A New Direction"
Permalink  
 


"I hear talk of the 'weak-willed' alcoholic, but I am one of the strongest-willed people on earth! I now know that my incredible strength of will is not enough to save my life. My problem is not one of 'weakness,' but rather of direction. When I, without falsely diminishing myself, accept my honest limitations and turn to God’s guidance, my worst faults become my greatest assets. My strong will, rightly directed, keeps me working until the promises of the program become my daily reality."

Take care,

Carol

I agree with you weholeheartedly, Q...


where the heck did you get that quote?? BURN IT!!! LOL


Just looking at the very lengths I went to to obtain and use alcohol and illegal drugs shows just how bull-headed I was.


I believe the point of recovery, is, for me, allowing God to re-align MY WILL toward HIS.... Wherever this happens, look out... I am like a dog with a bone!!!
