He was there... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

RufusACanal · 08-29-2008, 10:18 AM

"We finally saw that faith in some kind of God was a part of our make-up, just as much as the feeling we have for a friend. Sometimes we had to search fearlessly, but He was there. He was as much a fact as we were. We found the Great Reality deep down within us. In the last analysis it is only there that He may be found. It was so with us.

We can only clear the ground a bit. If our testimony helps sweep away prejudice, enables you to think honestly, encourages you to search diligently within yourself, then, if you wish, you can join us on the Broad Highway. With this attitude you cannot fail. The consciousness of your belief is sure to come to you."

Excerpts from the chapter, We Agnostics, First Edition Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
