The Solution:

If you are as seriously alcoholic as we were, we believe there is NO middle-of-th-road solution..

We were in a position where life was becoming impossible, and if we had passed into the region from which there is NO return through human aid, we had but two alternatives:

One was to go to the bitter end, blotting out the consciousness of our intolerable situation as best we could; and the other, to accept spiritual help. This we did because we honestly wanted to, and were willing to make the effort. -- Alcoholics Anonymous, pp. 25 - 26

THOUGHT TO PONDER: The Solution is Simple -- The Solution is Spiritual!

Acceptance of a Spiritual Solution is the Answer!!

If you're not alcoholic or drug addict you might know one, pass this on to them, it might be the trigger to their sobriety... Don D.

Spiritual awareness brings one within himself and certainly does bring out the new......

Spirituality is the inner self after all..Probably what contributed to the persons "inability" before either finding or accepting what is within us and that which is good...They must first appreciate them self and find their love and acceptance of "one"..When that occurs, all else will follow..Spirituality being the first...

Spirituality means something different to everyone... Some people get in touch with their spiritual side through private prayer, yoga, meditation, quiet reflection, or even long walks.

Research shows that even skeptics can't stifle the sense that there is something greater than the concrete world we see..And there is.... As the brain processes sensory experiences, we naturally look for patterns, and then seek out meaning in those patterns.... And the phenomenon known as "cognitive dissonance" shows that once we believe in something, we will try to explain away anything that conflicts with it.

Humans can't help but ask big questions—the instinct seems wired in our minds and I Thank God we have that inquisitive mind that eventually leads us to so much more....

One of the great gifts of spiritual knowledge is that it realigns your sense of self to something you may not have even ever imagined was within you. Spirituality says that even if you think you're limited and small, it simply isn't so. You're greater and more powerful than you have ever imagined. A great and divine light exists inside of you. This same light is also in everyone you know and in everyone you will ever know in the future. You may think you're limited to just your physical body and state of affairs — including your g****r, race, family, job, and status in life — but spirituality comes in and says "there is more than this."

Eventually if you want it and understand it, it is there knocking..All we need do is open the door~~~
