The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous

It's called the Big Book, classic aid
for all who look to substitutes to guide
their lives, as food or drink betray
their user's hopeless flailing far and wide.
The truth resides in simple Steps set out
in eight score and four pages filled with hope
transforming lives and freeing folk from doubt
while gifting souls with ways to climb the slope.
The secret is we're sick, an allergy
takes hold, and draws us back against our will
despite the best-laid plans and strategies
resources fail until we try God's Will.
I can't, God can, I'll let Him lead the way
to lives that count and fill me day by day.
