What would you tell a friend that asked you: I want to quit booze (or drugs), I really do, but I need help...

Are you willing to go any length?

Assume that they answer, "I think so, but I don't know what you mean. What lengths do I need to go to?"

Are you willing to go any length?

When I was at the bottom, deep in despair with no one to talk to,
the Good Lord brought about an unexpected meeting with an old friend.
As I poured out my soul, he asked me, "Are you willing to go any length?"
and I realized that I was and that was the start of my road to recovery.

I soon discovered that the most important length
was the distance from my knees to the ground.
I needed to get down on them, humble myself before my Higher Power,
ask for help and be willing to receive it.
And boy, the grace of God is a wonderful thing to experience!

It'll be 10 years this coming Spring, thank you Father.
