..... No words can tell of the loneliness and despair I found in that bitter morass of self-pity. Quicksand stretched around me in all directions. I had met my match. I had been overwhelmed. Alcohol was my master. (upon finding out that he had to quit drinking or he would die)
It was only a matter of being willing to believer in a Power greater than myself. Nothing more was required of me to make my beginning......... There I humbly offered myself to God, as I then understood Him, to do with me as He would... Something at work in a human heart which had done the impossible. I have not had a drink since. Simple, but not easy.... (The core of AA, realizing we CAN'T do it on our own)
*from the book Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill W, co-founder of AA
