Lack of Power
Our human resources, as marshalled by the will, were not sufficient;
they failed utterly. Lack of power, that was our dilemma. We had to find
a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than
ourselves. Obviously. But where and how were we to find this Power?
Well, that’s exactly what this book is about. Its main object is to enable
you to find a Power greater than yourself which will solve your problem.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (We Agnostics) p. 45

Willpower ... our will-ingness to use a Higher Power.

Grateful to serve,
