AA Big Book Quote - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

BikerBill8 · 05-28-2005, 07:38 AM

"We had a new Employer. Being all powerful, He provided what we
needed, if we kept close to Him and performed His work well.
Established on such a footing we became less and less interested in
ourselves, our little plans and designs. More and more we became
interested in seeing what we could contribute to life. As we felt
new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we
could face life successfully, as we became conscious of His presence,
we
began to lose our fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter. We were
reborn."

~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, How It Works, pg. 63~

This is a wonderful quote. In my early days I read and read this passage over and over. Helped me a great deal. And I still read it now of course and it is so true.

much love
JC
