Lately I've been reading the stories in the Big Book and I've pondered the reasons we have a tendency to dwell on the first causes of our disease.
Perhaps we want focus too much on the cause because it is where our minds instinctively want to go as a strategy to solve the problem.
But we can't go back and change the past so we must focus on the solution for the problem as it is today.
Focusing on the beginning is just a distraction from the reality of today. We don't treat our disease by changing the circumstances of the past, we treat the state of our spiritual malady as it is today.
