WILL POWER = Our WILL-ingness to use a Higher POWER. --Anonymous
One of the greatest decisions any of us ever made concerned our Third Step. This decision seemed to go against everything we wanted to do. We all know so well that every time we tried to manage our own lives, we produced misery and heartache. Human beings seem created to fight the decision to give up control. Yet this decision in Step Three, very hard for us to make, was one of the greatest decisions we ever made.
When we did our Third Step, we merely embraced the truth. When we decided to let God be God, we were able to participate in the plan. Whenever we let go and let God, we become a player on a team that will always win.
What I knew in the past was mostly failure; the decision to let God's will become mine continues to make sense.
To those that believe that willpower is an easy step, there is only one simple method to test it. It's easy. The next time you're in the grocery store, go ahead and pick up one of those big boxes of laxatives. When you get home, open the box and take them all. Now try not to shit.
Someone said that at today's meeting and I thought it was hilarious.

Hysterical, especially appropriate. I can do the test without the laxitives, been having terrible tummy trouble since yesterday. Found myself praying to God out loud without reservation.
Good to keep in mind when I think I'm all better and try my willful ways once again.
