Ancient Thoughts on 12 Steps and 12 Traditions

"In our sleep,
pain which we cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God."

– Aeschylus, 5th century B.C.E.

i just wish it didn't have to hurt sometimes. . .
