“Some of us once had great self-confidence, but it didn’t fully solve the fear problem, or any other. When it made us cocky, it was worse.” (Page 68, Big Book)
“My business came off well, I was pleased and knew my partners would be too. … I ordered a cocktail” (Page 41, Big Book)
“If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame. … We are [not] cocky … That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.” (Page 85, Big Book)
Self-confidence leads to a drink. Best be God-confident instead.
