“As individuals and as a Fellowship, we shall surely suffer if we cast the whole job of planning for tomorrow onto a kind Providence. God has endowed us human beings with considerable capability for foresight and he evidently expects us to use it. Therefore we must needs distinguish between wishful dreaming for a happy tomorrow and today’s use of our powers of thoughtful estimate — estimate of the kind which we trust will bring future progress rather than unforeseen woe.”
AA Co-Founder, Bill W., April 1959, “Leadership in AA: Ever a Vital Need,”, The Language of the Heart
