Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings. ~ Step Seven of Al-Anon
In the Sixth and Seventh Steps of the program, we become willing to
Let go of our defects of character - issues, behaviors, old feelings,
Unresolved grief, and beliefs that are blocking us from the joy that
Is ours. Then we ask God to take them from us.
Isn't that simple? We don't have to contort ourselves to make
Ourselves change. We don't have to force change. For once, we don't
Have to "do it ourselves." All we have to do is strive for an attitude
Of willingness and humility. All we have to do is ask God for what we
Want and need, and then trust God to do for us that which we cannot do
And do not have to do for ourselves.
We do not have to watch with bated breath for how and when we shall
Change. This is not a self-help program. In this miraculous and
Effective program that has brought about recovery and change for
Millions, we become changed by working the Steps.
Today, God, help me surrender to recovery and to the process by which
I become changed. Help me focus on the Step I need. Help me do my
Part, relax, and allow the rest to happen.

Pain can't be avoided. It's as natural as joy. We got into a lot of trouble trying to avoid pain. We used alcohol and other drugs to avoid pain. We didn't want to accept pain as as fact of life. We can't avoid pain, but now we have the program. The program teaches us how to talk about our pain. The program teavhes us how to turn over our pain to our HIGHER POWER. We don't have to be alone when we face pain. We have friends to go to. Before, when we hurt, we ran to alcohol or other drugs. Now, when we hurt, we run to the comfort of our sponsor and our program friends. Your friend, Dianne
