*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book Quote ^*~*~*~*~*

"Faith without works was dead, he said. And how appallingly true for
the alcoholic! For if an alcoholic failed to perfect and enlarge his
spiritual life through work and self-sacrifice for others, he could
not survive the certain trials and low spots ahead. If he did not
work, he would surely drink again, and if he drank, he would surely
die. Then faith would be dead indeed. With us it is just like that."

Well, this one zings me as these days my recovery is just online. I need to make myself a part of the community here, but I haven't, I haven't really moved any part of my life into this town because I resent being here which is childish. Thanks for posting this, it's a kick in the pants for me.
