While I have not yet been to Alanon (my semester is over next week and then I will have time!), I've thought a lot about my HP. I think this is it. Florence puts it nicer, though.

Have never seen anyone Bible Thumped in AA or especially Alanon.

Would actually think that would be looked upon lower than about anything.

Kind of defeats the entire "of our own understanding" part of the statement.

But really I think folks on many sides just think too much.

If our best thinking brought us to this situation -- maybe our best thinking aint so good.
