If we examine every disturbance we have, great or small,
we will find at the root of it some unhealthy dependency
and its consequent unhealthy demand.
Let us, with God's help, continually surrender
these hobbling demands.
Then we can be set free to live and love;
we may then be able to Twelfth Step ourselves and others
into emotional sobriety.
Of course, I haven't offered you a really new idea
--only a gimmick that has started to unhook
several of my own "hexes" at depth.
Nowadays my brain no longer races compulsively
in either elation, grandiosity, or depression.
I have been given a quiet place in bright sunshine.
- Bill W., January 1958.
