HAVE THE WILLINGNESS TO FACE IT -
"We attempt to
sweep away the de-
bris which has accum-
ulated out of our effort to
live on self-will and run the
show ourselves. If we
haven't the will to do
this, we ask until it
comes." (The Big
Book, p. 76)
OR BE BLINDED BY YOUR OWN EGO -
"After all, in our active addiction, our self-centeredness protected us from feeling guilt and enabled us to continue our drug use without regard for those around us. Our denial protected us from seeing the wreckage of our lives." (It Works, & Why, pp. 45-46)
"The pain body,
which is the dark
shadow cast by the
ego, is actually afraid
of the light of your
consciousness. It
is afraid of be-
ing found
out. "
- Eckhart Tolle (1948 - ) German spiritual author
