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.

This is one of the most interesting transformations I've been undergoing in recovery to realise that all of my negative & unhelpful reactions to life are linked intrinsically & representative of my Alcoholism. This is an Awakening in itself. It's good to know that since I now know what the problem is I can understand & apply the solution of the 12Steps answer to all of my problems. It is a simple program when I quit struggling & allow myself to understand. That's the Joy & the Miracle of it too. Godbless & Goodluck to everyone in theirs too. Happy Sober Day, Danielle x
