“There is a solution.”
“There is a solution.” — Alcoholics Anonymous (1939) · Chapter 2 · There Is a SolutionWhere it comes from
The title and the turning point of Chapter 2 — written for the reader who has just admitted the problem and needs one reason to keep reading.
Today’s reflectionFive words doing heavy lifting. Not “there might be.” Not “some people find.” There is. The first hundred members staked the book’s whole argument on their own existence: living proof, walking around, names attached. Almost a century later the proof has multiplied into the millions. Whatever today looks like, the sentence is still true and still present tense. There is a solution — and you’re allowed to act like it.
