Solving problems

All problems consist in either being upset or not knowing what to do.

Solution:

Make a list of the things you are upset about and the situations where you do not know what to do.
For the first, pray, and then write out a list of corrective measures taken from the AA programme or other compatible resources.

For the second, pray, and then set out the available courses of action and the pros and cons of each and then select the solution that best promotes the good of all, based on AA’s spiritual principles.

If you have a remaining question, call a sponsor with the results of the work you have done.

Set out the material in numbered points rather than as a stream of consciousness, for the sake of clarity of thought and communication. Keep each point clear, simple, and succinct.
