Let Go Absolutely
If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any
length to get it—then you are ready to take certain steps. At some of these
we balked. We thought we could find an easier, softer way. But we could not.
With all the earnestness at our command, we beg of you to be fearless and
thorough from the very start. Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas
and the result was nil until we let go absolutely.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (How It Works) p. 58
