With Power Backing

You forget that you have just now tapped a source of power much greater than yourself. To duplicate, with such backing, what we have accomplished is only a matter of willingness, patience and labor. (Alcoholics Anonymous, Kindle Locations 2043-2044)

Duplicating those early pioneers,
alcoholics before they were anonymous,
while still the drunk squad of the Oxford Group…
more than a hundred after starting from scratch
less than five years before, recovered from hopeless
in mind and body. Knowing, sharing precisely how!
Not “keep coming back,” not ninety in ninety,
but a remedy for tens of times more, thousands
that became fifteen thousand times more
in sixteen years. And I’ve got that resource,
that power, that book. Then all I need is that triad:
Willingness. Patience. Labor.
