When the student is ready, the master appears. ~Buddhist Proverb

Coming out of our drug fog makes it very hard to hear the message. Initially, we only half listen, and use few of the suggestions. This can be due to a variety of reasons ranging from confusion, prideful thinking, fear, or feeling overwhelmed. Some of us have thoughts that even doing half of a Step would be a mighty tall order. Some of us are concerned about opening old wounds, and sharing them with another person. However, once we are finally ready to move forward, doors begin to open. Suddenly we find teachers everywhere. Every meeting we attend seems to speak directly to us, each page we read in our book addresses our particular situation, and our sponsor is magically “right on” in everything he or she tells us. We know we are ready when we are “in the zone” of recovery and everything flows—when nothing flows, we simply are not yet ready.

If I’m not ready to learn, C.D.A. members can’t

say anything right. If I’m ready to learn,

they can’t say anything wrong.

Look the person in the mirror right in the eye. Is the readiness there - all the willingness that can be mustered?
