“When we saw others solve their problems by a simple reliance upon the Spirit of the Universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God. - Alcoholics Anonymous, page 52

“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us-they help us learn to endure. And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation.” - Romans 5:3-4

For what it’s worth: Problems were always dealt with by drinking. Most certainly, that compounded the problem. But I continued that insanity for years. In Alcoholics Anonymous I was taught to turn any problem over to my Higher Power. And, ever time I have done that, my Heavenly Father has proven He will take care of me and my difficulty. And He does it with love.

God bless you!
