Smile 5th step promises

Once we have taken this step, withholding nothing, we are delighted. We can look the world in the eye. We can be alone at perfect peace and ease. Our fears fall from us. We begin to feel the nearness of our Creator. We may have had certain spiritual beliefs, but now we begin to have spititual experience. The feeling that the drink problem has disappeared will often come strongly. We feel we are on the Broad Highway, walking hand in hand with the Spirit of the Universe. The end. pg 75 of the big book first edition

...second edition, third edition and fourth edition, too, no? Did these change after the first edition?

I was just talking about these today at the meeting. I was referring to them because some folks seem to be waiting for a spiritual experience instead of working the steps and ending up having a spiritual experience as a result.
