THE EASIER, SOFTER WAY

 Good Morning!!!

 

God grant me the Serenity

to accept the things

I cannot change;

Courage to change

the things I can;

and Wisdom

to know the difference.

Thy will, not mine, be done.

THE EASIER, SOFTER WAY

 

If we skip this vital step,

we may not overcome drinking.

Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 72

 

I certainly didn't leap at the opportunity

to face who I was,

especially when the pains of my drinking days

hung over me like a dark cloud.

But I soon heard at the meetings

about the fellow member

who just didn't want to take Step Five

and kept coming back to meetings,

trembling from the horrors of reliving his past.

The easier, softer way

is to take these Steps to freedom

from our fatal disease,

and to put our faith in the Fellowship

and our Higher Power.
