heres a few more promises of the program of AA- promises that happen as a result of working the steps( and there are more than these):
we start to straighten out mentally and physically
At once, we commence to outgrow fear.
we believe we will be forgiven and will have learned our lesson.
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 a spiritual 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.
we will be gratified with the results.
And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone even alcohol.
We are then in much less danger of excitement, fear, anger, worry, self-pity, or foolish decisions
Life will take on new meaning.
no situation is too difficult and no unhappiness to great to be overcome.
you are, of course, going to be very happy.
You will lose the old life to find one much better.
Joy at our release from a lifetime of frustration knew no bounds
