We AA's know the futility of trying to break
the drinking obsession by will power alone.
However, we do know that it takes great willingness
to adopt AA's Twelve Steps as a way of life
that can restore us to sanity.
No matter how grievous the alcohol obsession,
we happily find that other vital choices can still be made.
As we continue to make these choices,
our sanity returns and the compulsion to drink vanishes.
- Bill W., Letter, 1966.

Thought to Ponder....

Any problem blesses us
when we learn the lesson it teaches.
