The life of the alcoholic is very similar to a jigsaw puzzle. In our days of drinking, the whole of life appeared as simply a jumbled mass of unrelated pieces, impossible to unscramble.
In AA, someone gave us the cornerpiece and, from this, we slowly and laboriously found one piece after another. Each piece that we fitted in made it easier to find the next piece.
First, we found understanding, then hope, then determination, then sobriety, then unselfishness, then love, then faith and finally God.
All the pieces are in place finally, the picture makes sense - and it is beautiful to behold.
