Many look at the Big Book program as constituting Trust God, Clean House, Work with others. Each day I do my best to entrust my decisions and actions to God's guidance and care. The housecleaning--as Step Ten makes clear--is a continuing and ongoing challenge for which there is a solution. Helping others has been the greatest joy I have found from A.A. itself. It's a winner, and the comments make that clear.

I think that it's the attitude of compassion, caring, doing that make the difference. I know that I walk the talk. I'm grateful to God, you and so many others who also do that.
