AA Thought for the Day...Relate?

Bedevilments

We were having trouble with personal relationships,
we couldn't control our emotional natures,
we were prey to misery and depression, we couldn't make a living,
we had a feeling of uselessness, we were full of fear, we were unhappy,
we couldn't seem to be of real help to other people --
was not a basic solution to these bedevilments more important?
. . . Of course it was.
