"There is a solution. Almost none of us liked the
self-searching, the leveling of our pride, the confessions of shortcomings
which the process requires for its successful consummation. But we
saw that it really worked in others, and we had come to believe in the
hopelessness and futility of life as we had been living it. When,
therefore, we were approached by those in whom the problem had been solved,
there was nothing left for us but to pick up the simple kit of spiritual
tools laid at our feet. We have found much of heaven and we have been
rocketed into a fourth dimension of existence of which we had not even
dreamed."

"The second tenet of the Serenity Prayer is too frequently slurred over. I am constantly amazed at the number of so-called obstacles I have overcome after giving them a second look, mustering what meager resources I have, then taking the hoe in hand.
"Serenity to me, therefore,
is the absence of insoluble conflict. And it is up to me first to
determine whether, after an honest look at myself, I can cope with the problem,
then to decide whether it is to be tackled, passed over to another day, or
dismissed forever. "New Hartford, New York, USA"
