Principle 5: Voluntarily submit to every change God wants to make in my life and humbly ask Him to remove my character defects.
Step 7: We humbly asked Him to remove all our shortcomings.
Voluntarily submit.
Identify character defects.
Change your mind.
Turn over character defects.
One day at a time.
Recovery is a process.
You must choose to change.

I met with a woman this week who was holding onto a secret - one that was eating her up inside. It was a secret she wanted to tell, but just didn’t find the right opportunity. And then the door shut, as the person she wanted to reveal the truth to suddenly passed away, and now she is left with the silence of this secret and the guilt she felt in not telling anyone. Until today.
What a relief to let it out and not carry it anymore!
I have no idea what you may be harbouring or what keeps you in silence, but I encourage you to take your next step to exercise your choice to have a voice and let it out. Tattling is meant to get someone INTO trouble. Conversely, telling the truth is meant to get someone OUT of trouble. You don’t need to conceal the truth any longer. Let’s be honest about our feelings, events and circumstances, so we can be free in truth, rather than bound by silence. This is our next step...
