A.A.: How It Works: Hope and Humility
"Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path."
"If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it -- then you are ready to take certain steps."
"...the result was nil until we let go absolutely."
"Remember that we deal with alcohol -- cunning, baffling, powerful!"

If you truly want out of the misery, as I did, and are totally willing to try a new approach (one in which we can no longer try to maintain control), then there is hope for us and a program that really works. We must fully humble (not humiliate) ourselves and surrender our way of doing things. If we don't, it won't work.
We're warned that we have a disease that doesn't want us to get better.
