Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book Quote 9/20/03

"On the other hand--and strange as this may seem to those who do not understand--once a psychic change has occurred, the very same person who seemed doomed, who had so many problems he despaired of ever solving them, suddenly finds himself easily able to control his desire for alcohol, the only effort necessary being that required to follow a few simple rules."

Rules!!!!! That cant be right. Everyone knows there are no rules in AA. Must be a misprint.

Amy-
How true that is. I'm going to have to go back the doctor's opinion and highlight it.

Jerry - only suggestions right?

I lack to much displine to only take suggestions
