The precise reason I came to AA was because I had a problem to which I had no solution.
If I did not have a problem to which I had no solution, I would not have come.
If AA did not have a solution, I would not have come.
Necessarily the solution must be outside of myself.
If it were not, I would not have a problem to which I had no solution.
That solution is necessarily higher than me, in that it is capable of something of which I am not capable.
Anything lower than me will necessarily be less able to solve my problem than me.
Anything that is not a power might well be very nice but is no use if I have a problem.
To have a problem to which one has no solution, to come to the place with the solution, then not to believe in the solution would reflect not faithlessness but mere confusion.
