I just have to realize

hI have often heard it said at meetings;

"I just have to realize that I am one drink away from my next drunk".

Back when I thought the AA program was about psychological tricks and
tips, I agreed with this slogan. Now that I believe it is the
spiritual principles learned in the steps that keep me sober, I have
changed my slogan to:

"I just have to realize that I am one infinitely powerful God away
from my next drunk"

I know this might sound cocky to some, but for those who believe in
the 10th step promise (page 85 of the Big Book)

"We feel as though we had been placed in a position of neutrality -
safe and protected".
