"Failure is impossible." ~ Susan B. Anthony
The Big Book says, "Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path." The word rarely has been questioned, but the reason for its use seems obvious: making arrogant claims violates the most fundamental principle of the twelve-step program.
Yet, few in this program would deny that whatever one believes to be possible, is possible. To begin the program with a feeling that I will fail is to hobble myself cruelly and almost certainly guaranteed failure.
Those who set forth in the belief that failure is impossible have vastly superior forces on their side.
For Today: This program works for everyone who wants and expects it to work.
