Maybe for some DK, though for me it is neither scripture or religion. I found a solution for living in the Big Book and this continuing journey to a solution has provided a wealth of good that I would not have gained any other way. How do I know this? I tried every humanly possible way not to work the planned program of recovery contained in the pages. I looked for decades for another solution and found none that worked. This experience of failure opened wide the doors for a solution that could work if I was willing to accept certain things about myself.
