|  Big Book Quote
*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book Quote ^*~*~*~*~* "Perhaps there is a better way--we think so. For we are now on a different basis; the basis of trusting and relying upon God. We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves. We are in the world to play the role He assigns. Just to the extent that we do as we think He would have us, and humbly rely on Him, does He enable us to match calamity with serenity." ~Alcoholics Anonymous, 1st. Edition, How It Works, pg. 68~
