Unreasonable demands

“We now clearly see that we have been making unreasonable demands upon ourselves, upon others, and upon God.” (Page 76, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions)

I don’t own anything. I don’t have anything. I’m not owed anything. I’m not due anything. There’s nothing to legitimately demand or expect.

If I didn’t stick my nose where it didn’t belong, it wouldn’t get out of joint.

All I need to do is ask (God) and act, and I’m given what I’m given.
