Essential to Recovery's Start

 Belief in the power of God, plus enough willingness, honesty and humility to establish and maintain the new order of things, were the essential requirements. Simple, but not easy; a price had to be paid. It meant destruction of self-centeredness. I must turn in all things to the Father of Light who presides over us all. ~ Bill’s Story, The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous . Kindle Edition.

What a change to effect the whole world
came from Bill W’s understanding
of the significance of his change after talking with Ebby!
Simple ideas, life-changing and when shared world-changing!
What did it take?
Belief in the power of God,
plus enough willingness,
honesty and humility
to establish and maintain
the new order of things,
were the essential requirements.
Simple, but not easy;
a price had to be paid.
It meant destruction
of self-centeredness.
We must turn in all things
to the Father of Light
who presides over us all.
