I alone can do it. But I can't do it alone. --Anonymous
We're the luckiest people alive because we don't have to do anything alone! Whether we have a new assignment to tackle, a new relationship to cultivate, a new boss to please, we'll never fail as long as we rely on the program, our sponsors, and our Higher Power.
That doesn't mean we won't have trying times and some failures. But the companionship we need for handling the difficult periods will never be denied us. Perhaps we think it will. Maybe that's why we try to do too much alone.
We didn't end up in this Twelve Step program as the result of living peaceful, productive lives. We're here because we got scared. Our lives weren't working. And they won't work now if we insist on doing it alone. This is our second chance. Let's take it.
I will seek the support I need from friends and God today. I'll have a good day because of this.

It's such a comfort to know that i'm not alone in this, i don't want to be alone or try to do it alone anymore, i need a new family and sober friends, i think i am finally ready to accept your love and support.
Sarah, ... You are right where you are supposed to be right now ... to continue your new journey, just keep coming back and 'listen' to what is being said ... years upon years of wisdom is shared right here ... the solution for you is being laid at your feet ... you have but to pick it up and join us in joyful recovery ... it will not be necessary for you to drink today ... and we can share with you just how all that is possible ...
Love ya, Pappy
