From "My Chance to Live:"

"If willingness is the key to unlock the gates of hell, it is
action that opens those doors so that we may walk freely among the
living.
"Over the course of my sobriety I have experienced many
opportunities to grow. I have had struggles and achievements. Through
it all I have not had to take a drink, nor have I ever been alone.
Willingness and action have seen me through it all, with the guidance of
a loving Higher Power and the fellowship of the program."
