The two ways to learn are the hard way and the harder way. The best things in life aren't things. My Higher Power is whatever I turn to in a crisis. If I have a problem and eat over it, then I have two problems. My character shows as I respond to difficulty.
Worry prevents recovery.
If you like everyone you've met in OA, you haven't been to enough meetings. The sooner I surrender, the better. Hope is the risk that must be run. Stay put and act in my own best interest. Do the next, right thing.
