PROBLEM SOLVING
“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.
