Someone once said this and this was Gracefully shared to me!!!
“Trust God, Clean House, Help Others”
"Dr. Bob did elaborate on his keep-it-simple theme as far as the A.A. program is concerned, incidentally. In a September, 1948 article for the Grapevine, he wrote:
'As finally expressed and offered, they [the Twelve Steps] are simple in language, plain in meaning. They are also workable by any person having a sincere desire to obtain and keep sobriety. The results are the proof. Their simplicity and workability are such that no special interpretations, and certainly no reservations, have ever been necessary. And it has become increasingly clear that the degree of harmonious living which we achieve is in direct ration to our earnest attempt to follow them literally under divine guidance to the best of our ability.'"
Dr. Bob and the Good Oldtimers p. 227
