PROBLEM SOLVING

"Quite as important was the discovery that spiritual principles would solve all my problems. "

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 42

Through the recovery process described in the Big Book, I have come to realize that the same instructions that work on my alcoholism, work on much more. Whenever I am angry or frustrated, I consider the matter a manifestation of the main problem within me, alcoholism. As I "walk" through the Steps, my difficulty is usually dealt with long before I reach the Twelfth "suggestion," and those difficulties that persist are remedied when I make an effort to carry the message to someone else. These principles do solve my problems! I have not encountered an exception, and I have been brought to a way of living which is satisfying and useful.

thanks for doin the service of posting these, kyrie. it is MUCH appreciated.

I was comin home from a visit with my oncologist a few years ago. it wasn't the best news and I was a lil whacked out. 150 mile ride. no phone. didn't know where a meeting was until I got back to my hometown.
the thought came to go through the steps.
about 45 minutes later I had serenity and peace back.

Thank you for being here Tom. Thank you for your note.

Glad to be here with you all.
