As long as all of us continue looking for the solution to our problem outside of ourselves, for just that long none of us are going to be able to find it. All non spiritual things won't ever be able to do this job for us, to solve our problem. No matter how hard we've all been trying to make them do just that, they'll never be able to do this, because they'll always be lacking in what it is we all need. The solution to our problem has to come from within us. It has to be spiritual, but rarely do any of us think so. Just because we all live in a world that is spiritually sick doesn't mean that we ourselves have to be, or that we can't do anything about our problem spiritually. Recovery shows us precisely what it is we all need to do so that we can become spiritually fit, and to solve our problem enough that we'll all be able to learn how to live in a world that has no interest in doing the same thing. And when it comes to those of us that have this problem, we really don't have much choice in the matter. Either we find a solution, one that's spiritual or we're going to die from having this problem.
