As Bill Sees It
Never Again!, p. 16
"Most people feel more secure on the twenty-four-hour basis than
they do in the resolution that they will never drink again. Most of
them have broken too many resolutions. It's really a matter of
personal choice; every A.A. has the privilege of interpreting the
program as he likes.
"Personally, I take the attitude that I intend never to drink again.
This is somewhat different from saying, 'I will never drink again.'
The
latter attitude sometimes gets people in trouble because it is
undertaking on a personal basis to do what we alcoholics never could
do. It is too much an act of will and leaves too little room for the
idea
that God will release us from the drink obsession provided we follow
the A.A. program."
Letter, 1949
