1. Do we lay the matter before our sponsor or spiritual adviser, earnestly asking God’s help and guidance–meanwhile resolving to do the right thing when it becomes clear, cost what it may?-TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p p. 86-87
2. It’s always risky when a recovering person gets too busy for meetings. It’s also dangerous when business and personal concerns crowd out interest in the program.
The danger is that when the work no longer satisfies us, we’ll find our lives becoming empty again. We could then be very vulnerable to taking a drink. We should never be too busy for the wonderful, constructive work of the program. ~Walk In Dry Places
3. Letting go of the past and the present is to admit powerlessness. This means that the outcome is not in your hands.All I can do is the best I can do. I know that the results are in the hands of my Higher Power. ~Hour To Hour
4. Men and women drink essentially because they like the effect produced by alcohol. The sensation is so elusive that, while they admit it is injurious, they cannot after a time differentiate the true from the false. To them, their alcoholic life seems the only normal one. They are restless, irritable and discontented, unless they can again experience the sense of ease and comfort which comes at once by taking a few drinks — drinks which they see others taking with impunity. – Pg. xxix – 4th. Edition – The Doctor’s Opinion
