12&12 p.104,

Such prayers, of course, are fundamentally good acts, but often they are based upon a supposition that we know
God's will for the person for whom we pray.

But suppose that instinct still cries out, as it certainly will, "Yes, respecting alcohol, I guess I have to be

12&12 p.83,
Step Nine
After we have made the list of people we have harmed, have reflected carefully upon each instance, and have tried to possess ourselves of the right attitude in which to proceed, we will see that the making of direct amends divides those we should approach into several classes.

BB p.98,
Working With Others
The minute we put our work on a service plane, the alcoholic commences to rely upon our assistance rather than upon God.
46.
... upon God.
BB xvi,
Foreword to Second Edition
Though he could not accept
all the tenets of the Oxford Groups, he was convinced of the need for moral inventory, confession of personality defects, restitution to those harmed, helpfulness to
others, and the necessity of belief in and
dependence upon God.
47.
... upon God

12&12 p.104,
Step Eleven
We discover that we do receive guidance for our
lives to just about the extent that we stop making demands upon God to give it to us on order and on
our terms.
48.
... upon God,

12&12 p.116,
Step Twelve
If we really depended
upon God, we couldn't very well play God to our fellows nor would we feel the urge wholly to rely on human protection and care.
49.
... upon God,

12&12 p.121,
Step Twelve
When a job still looked like a mere means of getting money rather than an opportunity for service, when the acquisition of money for
financial independence looked more important than a right dependence upon God, we were still the victims of unreasonable fears.

12&12 p.151,
Tradition Five
The unique ability of each A.A. to identify himself with, and
bring recovery to, the newcomer in no way depends upon his learning, eloquence, or on any special individual skills.
56.

12&12 p.78,
Step Eight
Triumphantly we seize
upon his misbehavior as
the perfect excuse for minimizing or forgetting our own.
57.

We found that dependence upon His perfect justice, forgiveness, and love was
healthy, and that it would work where nothing else would.

12&12 p.34,

In fact, the effectiveness of the whole A.A. program will rest upon how well and earnestly we have
tried to come to "a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him."
63.

12&12 p.129,
Tradition One

12&12 p.48,

But all who are in the least reasonable will agree upon one point: that there is plenty wrong with us alcoholics about which plenty will have to be done if we are to expect sobriety, progress, and
any real ability to cope with life.
79.

12&12 p.75,

We began to get over the idea that the Higher Power was a sort of bush-league pinch hitter, to be called upon only in an emergency.
80.

BB p.98,
Working With Others
Some of us have taken very hard knocks to learn this truth: Job or no job
-- wife or no wife -- we simply do not stop drinking so long as we place dependence upon other people ahead of dependence on God.
81.
... upon other
people for too much attention, ...
12&12 p.44,
Step Four
Demands made upon other people for too much attention, protection,
and love can only invite domination or revulsion in the protectors themselves
-- two emotions quite as unhealthy as the
demands which evoked
them.
82.
... upon others.
12&12 p.116,
Step Twelve
83.
... upon others,

upon ourselves, upon others, and upon God.

our God-given instincts.

Working With Others
94.

12&12 p.115,
Step Twelve
We had refused to learn
the very hard lesson that overdependence upon people is unsuccessful
because all people are fallible, and even the best of them will sometimes let us down, especially when our
demands for attention
become unreasonable.
95.
... upon people

12&12 p.44,
Step Four
If the pursuit of wealth
tramples upon people who happen to be in
the way, then anger, jealousy, and revenge are
likely to be aroused.

his reliance upon prayer for guidance in all

Much of the political, economic, and religious
life of the world is dependent upon publicized leadership.

We have seen that character defects based upon shortsighted or unworthy desires are the
obstacles that block our
path toward these objectives.

BB p.28,
There Is A Solution
If what we have learned and felt and seen means anything at all, it means that all of us, whatever our race, creed, or color are the children of a living Creator with whom we may form
a relationship upon simple and understandable terms
as soon as we are willing
and honest enough to try.

12&12 p.59,

Hence it was most evident
that a solitary self-appraisal, and the admission of our defects
based upon that alone, wouldn't be nearly enough.

A spiritual experience, he conceded, was absolutely necessary,
but the price seemed high upon the basis suggested.
109.
... upon the

12&12 p.116,
Step Twelve
But when self-will had driven everybody away and our isolation had
become complete, it caused us to play the big shot in cheap barrooms and then fare forth alone on the street to depend upon the charity of passersby.

The Doctor's Opinion
These allergic types can
