....to Alcoholics Anonymous, the 4 months on the outside had broken me adequately to become teachable. Any further experimentation would have resulted in my demise. I was very sick but not stupid, and so I came back a little worse off but not totally insane. I tried my own resources and they did not work. The book says:
"When we saw others solve their problems by a simple reliance upon the Spirit of the Universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God. Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did."
