Roundup time

I thank my Higher Power each night for the miracle happening to Bill W. in bringing us alcoholics the great message which helped also an old drunkard like me. Now I try to work the program as I understand it since a couple of twenty-four hours. But, believe me, it is sometimes hard to do it. Always my opinion about the Twelve Steps changes. And so I have to do them over again and again. And I know, definitely, this will last up to the end of my life as long as I wish to stay sober! Always they are mentioning in the meetings there are no "musts" in AA. Myself I believe to know it better! For Werner all these Steps became musts! and I feel happy about it! As long as I do them voluntarily they seem easy to me. May God strengthen me in continuing this way. Otherwise "musts" will overpower me which I cannot do anything about.
