1) BUILDING A NEW LIFE
We feel a man is unthinking when he says sobriety is enough.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 82
When I reflect on Step Nine, I see that physical sobriety must be enough for me. I need to remember the hopelessness I felt before I found sobriety, and how I was willing to go to any lengths for it.
2) KNOWING MYSELF
I understood myself only after I destroyed myself, and only in the process of healing myself did I know who I really was. Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that.
3) SOLITUDE
Solitude is a spiritual experience because it enables me to center on what God is doing and creating in my life. Solitude enables me to think and cooperate with His will for me in our world. As an alcoholic I was always running around being “busy”. Today I rest within myself in order to be more active and creative.

4) STEP FOUR
“Yes, this moral inventory is intimidating and tough to do, but the end result is freedom from those hindering things taking up room in your mind and heart that prevent you from growing. Those things contributed to your addiction and why your life is unmanageable.”
