My Thoughts
Willingness is where it all begins, but it’s not a one-time decision—it evolves. At first, willingness might mean simply admitting we need help. Over time, it grows into the courage to take action, face discomfort, and trust the process. Each stage of recovery asks for a new kind of willingness. What got us through yesterday might not be enough for today. True growth comes when we embrace this evolution, staying open to change and ready to meet the next challenge.
Action for the Week
Reflect on this question: What am I willing to do today that I wasn’t willing to do before? Take one small step that pushes you outside your comfort zone.
Just read that unknown quote this morning in the book called Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. Chapter 3.
