| What is the AA Message?
As today marks Dr. Bob's permanent sobriety date and the birthdate of AA, I wonder what they might think of the "Message" today. Would they tell the newcomer:
1.Just don't drink?
2. GO to 90 in 90?
3.Fake it till you make it?
4. Sobriety is in the coffee Pot?
5. You have to wait a year to sponsor someone?
6. This is a selfish program?
I suspect they would relate their experience with drinking and then say, you have a malady of the body, mind, and soul that only a spiritual experience can conquer. Here are the steps we took as a program of recovery, are you willing to go to any length to recover from this seemingly hopeless state of mind and body?
How does one have a spiritual experience sufficient enough to recover from alcoholism? I'm sure there are many, Alcoholics Anonomous offers 1. The program of recovery as outlined in our basic text, The Big Book.
