The Purpose of the Big Book

...that’s exactly what this book is about. Its main object is to enable you to find a Power greater than yourself which will solve your problem. That means we have written a book which we believe to be spiritual as well as moral. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous (Kindle Locations 720-722)

The Big Book is about
a Power greater than I and.
And —
that Power will solve my problems.
The promise isn't abstract.
That Power plays a role, and what a role.
WILL solve my problem.
Could say all my problems,
could be specific, but words have meaning
and here it's singular, one problem.
But one's enough. Take care of the eating
and the rest will follow —
as long as it's the Power taking care,
not me, the surrogate, the substitute,
the inept. God is the Power that can
and doing it is the main purpose of the book —
and the millions who are proof of what happens
when God solves that problem.
