AA Thought for the Day
July 18, 2006
Philosophy
If a mere code of morals or a better philosophy of life
were sufficient to overcome alcoholism,
many of us would have recovered long ago.
But we found that such codes and philosophies
did not save us, no matter how much we tried.
We could wish to be moral,
we could wish to be philosophically comforted,
in fact, we could will these things with all our might,
but the needed power wasn't there.
Our human resources, as marshalled by the will,
were not sufficient; they failed utterly.
Thought to Ponder....
The task ahead of us
is never as great as the Power behind us.
