“Whatever the precise definition of the word may be, we call this plain insanity. How can such a lack of proportion, of the ability to think straight, be called anything else?” (Chapter Three, Big Book)
My problem boils down to:
- Wacky beliefs
- Wacky thinking
- Trusting that wacky thinking
- Taking wacky action
True for alcoholism. True for other addictions (including wacky baccy). True for character defects.
Without God, I’m a whackjob, off to the Wacky Races.
With God, restoration to sanity is possible.
