For those of you who knew Betty, and/or had her for a sponsor, she had given me two pages containing slogans and acronyms.  I'm working on these with an alanon friend.  We do 1 a week.  But I stumbled upon "There but for the grace of God go I," which I don't find in most readers.  Perhaps it was used more in her generation.  But I wrote on it anyway.  

AI describes this as "...and idiom expressing humility and empathy, acknowledging that one's own success or safety is due to luck or divine grace, rather than personal superiority. It means a person could easily be in another's unfortunate, desperate, or scandalous situation if circumstances were different.

I've heard this phrase said over the years, and I think it reminds me that I cannot control anything.  Let go and let God I think is expressed here.  It keeps me close to my HP.  Negative things can and do happen.  Nothing will ever be perfect.  But I'll take all the help I can get!
