AA advice: When the chips are down

"It has been my experience that, when all human resources appear to have failed, there is always One who will never desert me,"

“When we developed still more, we discovered the best possible source of emotional stability to be God Himself.We found that dependence upon His perfect justice, forgiveness, and love was healthy, and that it would work where nothing else would.If we really depended upon God, we couldn’t very well play God to our fellows nor would we feel the urge wholly to rely on human protection and care”.

(Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions.)

It has been my experience that, when all human resources appear to have failed, there is always One who will never desert me.

Moreover, He is always there to share my joy, to steer me down the right path, and to confide in when no one else will do.
