“Deep Down Within Us”
We found the Great Reality deep down within us. In the last analysis it is only there that He may be found…search diligently within yourself…With this attitude you cannot fail. The consciousness of your belief is sure to come to you.

It was out of the depths of loneliness, depression and despair that I sought the help of A.A. As I recovered and began to face the emptiness and ruin of my life, I began to open myself to the possibility of the healing that recovery offers through the A.A. program. By coming to meetings, staying sober, and taking the Steps, I had the opportunity to listen with increasing attentiveness to the depths of my soul. Daily I waited, in hope and gratitude, for that sure belief and steadfast love I had longed for in my life. In this process, I met my God, as I understand Him.
