Faith
It works—it really does. We alcoholics are undisciplined.
So we let God discipline us in the simple way we have just
outlined. But this is not all. There is action and more action.
"Faith without works is dead."
- Alcoholics Anonymous, (Into Action) p. 88
Thought to Ponder
If faith without works is dead;
then willingness without action is fantasy.

Good morning all. Greg, alcoholic. Good to be here. I've always believed in God. AA and the old men in it showed me how to put combat boots on that belief. Belief by itself is fine... but it doesn't do much. Thankfully I've never been so arrogant as to confuse God with myself. I've seen many drunks that have....it doesn't end well. Thanks.
