Today's thought from Hazelden is:
Becoming willing to act
The miracles in our program don’t simply rub off at meetings. The key to getting clean and sober – and staying clean and sober – is a willingness to act.
Once we feel scared enough or strong enough to do something – once the willingness appears – miracles can happen. Action is the magic word. We must not wait for something to "rub off." Rather, we must act as soon as possible. An important phrase in the program describes this - "acting as if."
Am I learning to "act as if"?
Higher Power, help me become willing to act so that I don’t fall into a spiritual sleep.
