Problem Solving
“Quite as important was the discovery that spiritual principles would solve all my problems.”
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.
