I might add that the Ninth Step Promises are not sommething to "get" in AA. In fact, there is nothing to get in AA.

I am grateful that my sponsor didn't dangle these in front of me like a carrot. He said these were results, a by product of taking the action in the Ninth Step. Not something to sit in AA meetings and wait for.
