My powerlessness over alcohol does not cease when I quit drinking. In sobriety, I still have no choice -- I can't drink. The choice I do have is to pick up and use the "kit of spiritual tools." When I do that, my Higher Power relieves me of my lack of choice -- and keeps me sober one more day. If I could choose not to pick up a drink today, where then would be my need for AA or a Higher Power?

AA is like an adjustable wrench,
it fits almost any nut.
