That universe? Have you tried stopping the sun from rising? Have you yelled at the rain and demanded it stop? What are the results from such an experiment? Of course there is a power greater than you. All it took for me was to admit I didn't have all the answers and I could not control much of anything at all in this life outside of my own behavior and thoughts, and that was enough to give me the humility to accept defeat from alcohol and my delusional thinking on many things.
Hm. Humility. There it is again.
