WE STAND–OR FALL–TOGETHER
. . . no society of men and women ever had a more urgent need for
continuous effectiveness and permanent unity. We alcoholics see that
we must work together and hang together, else most of us will finally
die alone.
Alcoholics Anonymous, p.563
- Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may try to make my life like a cool river in a thirsty land.
I pray that I may give freely to all who ask my help. - As Bill Sees It
Beneath the Surface, p.258
Some will object to many of the questions that should be answered in
a moral inventory, because they think their own character defects
have not been so glaring. To these, it can be suggested that a
conscientious examination is likely to reveal the very defects the
objectionable questions are concerned with. - The disease of alcoholism is “cunning, baffling and powerful”, and it
manipulates us to believe “the lie”. There is a point that we reach in
our disease where we believe that crazy behavior is acceptable.
Insanity becomes the order of the day. And when friends or therapists
try to give us a message, we discount them.
