Bedevilments of the Disease
This is taken from Page 52 in the Big Book. It is a list of common bedevilments we experience as alcoholics / addicts. The motivation is to seek “God-sufficiency” over self-sufficiency to be rid of them:
~ We were having trouble with personal relationships
~ We couldn’t control our emotional natures
~ We were a prey to misery and depression
~ We couldn’t make a living
~ We had a feeling of uselessness
~ We were full of fear
~ We were unhappy
~ We couldn’t seem to be of real help to other people
