Not Drinking "Is Just A Symptom"
Of Our Recovery
Though our 'Decision' was a vital and crucial step, it could
have little permanent effect unless 'At Once' followed
by a strenuous effort to face, and to be rid of, the
things in ourselves which had been blocking
us. Our Liquor was but "A Symptom."...
Therefore, we started upon a per-
sonal inventory. This was
'Step Four' ...
( How It Works, A.A. Big Book, Step 3 Page 64 )
When the thought was expressed that there might be a
'God Personal To Me' this feeling was intensified. . .
"Why don't you choose . . .'Your Own'. . .
conception of God?"
( Bill's Story, A.A. Big Book, Step 1 Page 12 )
I was to test my "Thinking" by the new
God-Consciousness 'Within'.
Common Sense would thus become
'Uncommon Sense'.
( Bill's Story, A.A. Big Book, Step 1 Page 13 )
At first some of us tried to avoid the issue, hoping against
hope we were not true alcoholics. But after a while we
had to face the fact that We 'Must' Find A Spiritual
Basis Of Life - Or Else.
( We Agnostics, A.A. Big Book, Step 1 Page 44 )
We can laugh at those who think Spirituality
the way of 'Weakness'...
Paradoxically, it is the way of 'Strength'.
( How It Works, A.A. Big Book, Step 4 Page 68 )
What we really have is a 'Daily Reprieve' contingent
on the maintenance of our 'Spiritual Condition'.
( Into Action, A.A. Big Book, Step 10 Page 85 )
When we 'Retire At Night',
we constructively 'Review Our Day'.
Were we resentful, selfish, dishonest or afraid? etc. . .
( Into Action, A.A. Big Book, Step 11 Page 86 )
Helping others is the 'Foundation Stone' of your recovery.
A kindly act once in a while isn't enough. You have
to act the Good Samaritan every day, if need be.
( Into Action, A.A. Big Book, Step 12 Page 97 )

Honesty, Open-mindedness, Patience, Effort...

A LIFE-TIME TASK
~
''We have entered the world of the Spirit.
Our next function is to grow in understanding
and effectiveness.
This is not an overnight matter.
It should continue for our lifetime.
Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty,
resentment, and fear.
When these crop up,
we ask God at once to remove them.
We discuss them with someone immediately
and make amends quickly if we have harmed anyone.
Then we resolutely turn our thoughts
to someone we can help.
Love and tolerance of others is our code.''

THE PROMISES
Of Alcoholics Anonymous, Big Book,
Chapter 6 Into Action, Pages 83-84,
As Contained In
. . . "Step Nine" !
☛ If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through.
☛ We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
☛ We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
☛ We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
☛ No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.
☛ That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
☛ We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
☛ Self-seeking will slip away.
☛ Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
☛ Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
☛ We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
☛ We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us
what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not ! They are being fulfilled among us
sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize
if we work for them . . . . .

The Main Problem of the Alcoholic
centers In His Mind, rather
than in his body...
( A.A. Big Book, There Is A Solution, Step 1 Page 23 )
How long have you been sober?
The smartest answer might be,
Since I Got Up This Morning !
The alcoholic at certain times has no effective Mental
Defense against the First Drink... His defense
must come from a Higher Power...
