The Escape Claus

I'm sure glad all of the Steps have so many built-in escape clauses for the suspicious drunk.  We make decisions, come to believe, develop willingness.  There aren't too many You Gottas in The Program.  I don't personally do anything if someone is pointing a finger at me and threatening dire consequences.  I glare back and push my hand farther into the meat grinder. 


"Man, does this HURT," I think, no closer to taking solid advice that's in my best interest.  "Who does that guy think he is, telling me what to do?"


"Once we have placed the key of willingness in the lock and have the door ever so slightly open, we find that we can always open it some more."  


Don't tell me what to do.
