“Taking the Steps let me free my mind of the myriad troubles and concerns that we all have. I was able to quiet the incessant voices so that God could enter and start to solve my problems. I paid every bill I could — not just financial bills but emotional and spiritual ones as well. By taking care of my debts, I’ve been able to remove them from my mind; they no longer occupy that space and control my thoughts. The Steps also show me that today, I must live up to own standards, not anyone else’s. If I can live up to my own code, I can be comfortable with me.”
“Distilled Spirits,” Winchester, California, May 1998, AA Grapevine
