Big Book Quote
*~*~*~*~*^ 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, 1st. Edition, Into Action, pg. 87

Another similar quote that I must be careful of is when it says we can exercise our will power.
"How can I best serve Thee-Thy will (not mine) be done. These are thoughts which must go with us constantly. We can exercise our will power along this line all we wish. It is the proper use of the will."
Alcoholics Anonymous, 1st Edition page 85
I always try to remember that prayer when I use my will power.
