Big Book Quote

We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the show,
humbly saying to ourselves many times each day "Thy will be done." We
are then in much less danger of excitement, fear, anger, worry, self-
pity, or foolish decisions. We become much more efficient. We do
not tire so easily, for we are not burning up energy foolishly as we
did when we were trying to arrange life to suit ourselves."

~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Into Action, pg. 87~

After looking at the 2nd step proposition, I decided God is everything,Turning my life and will over was my 3rd step decision, that must be immediately accompanied with...Action... I followed a precise course of action (steps 4-9 with the guidance of a Big Book Sponsor) as a result I receive the 10th step promises, recover from alcoholism and am placed in a postion to be of Maximum Service to God and my fellows, not a bad deal!
