Abstinence is a man-made achievement...Recovery is a divine gift.
Abstinence is measured in days/weeks/months....Recovery is measured in promises.
Abstinence is knowing that I am one drink away from my next drunk....Recovery is knowing I am one infinitely powerful God away from my next drunk.
Abstinence is dealing with care, boredom and worry.....Recovery is release from care, boredom and worry.

These kind of statements, given as ultimate unquestioned truths in meetings is why AA is often described as cult like.
