THE ROAD TO CLING-FREE RECOVERY -
"Are we now ready to let God [or our Higher Power] remove from us all the things which we have admitted are objectionable? Can He/She now take them all -- everyone? If we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask God [HP] to help us be willing." (It Works, How & Why, p. 83)
FEAR NOT, THE FIXES -
"With our awareness of the exact nature of our wrongs - our character defects - and the humility inherent in that awareness, our desire to change increased dramatically ... . Though we may have experienced some apprehension ... we overcame our fears by drawing on the trust and faith we had developed in a loving God." (12 & 12, p. 52)
"Our deepest
fear is not that
we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful
beyond measure. It
is our Light, not
our Darkness,
that most fri-
ghten
us."
- Marianne Williamson (1952 - ) U.S. Spiritual author
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
