The alcoholic is an extreme example of self-will run riot,
though he usually doesn't think so.
Above everything,
we alcoholics must be rid of this selfishness.
We must, or it kills us! God makes that possible.
And there often seems no way of entirely getting rid of self
without His aid.
Many of us had moral and philosophical convictions galore,
but we could not live up to them
even though we would have liked to.
Neither could we reduce our self-centeredness much
by wishing or trying on our own power.
We had to have God's help.

Thought to Ponder....

I can't do His will my way.
