That is one of the so-called promises that we dangle in front of newcomers like a carrot. Those are not promises so much as results of taking a course of action that gets me free of my past. During my chronic relapser days, I had no idea that those "promises" camout of the book, in the ninth step. I thought they were a piece of paper that was read in meetings.
The very things I wanted to forget now become my greatest asset, my most valuable tool in working with others.
If you want to know what the book means and what I'm talking about, find a recovered alcoholic and ask them to take you through the 12 steps.
