This February at The Men’s Home, we’re focusing on Step 2. A shift from self-reliance to the possibility of something greater. For many, this step doesn’t start with certainty. It starts with willingness.
“Came to Believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”
We needed to ask ourselves but one short question. “Do I now believe, or am I even willing to believe that there is a Power greater than myself?”
As soon as a man can say that he does believe, or is willing to believe, we emphatically assure him that he is on his way.
Alcoholics Anonymous, p 47
“…This I can’t swallow. I simply won’t consider such nonsense. Then I woke up. I had to admit that A.A. showed results, prodigious results. I saw that my attitude regarding these had been anything but scientific. It wasn’t A.A. that had the closed mind, it was me. The minute I stopped arguing, I could begin to see and feel.
Right there, Step Two gently and very gradually began to infiltrate my life. I can’t say upon what occasion or upon what day I came to believe in a Power greater than myself, but I certainly have that belief now.”
