Dr. Bob Said It Really Well

From page 181 in the Big Book;
“If you think you are an atheist, an agnostic, a skeptic, or have any other form of intellectual pride which keeps you from accepting what is in this book, I feel sorry for you. If you still think you are strong enough to beat the game alone, that is your affair. But if you really and truly want to quit drinking liquor for good and all, and sincerely feel that you must have some help, we know that we have an answer for you. It never fails, if you go about it with one half the zeal you have been in the habit of showing when you were getting another drink.”
Dr. Bob apparently knew nothing of pc recovery or stroking someone’s feathers to help them into recovery. Thankfully…
One I constantly remind myself is that this program is not for everybody. Just those that really want it.
