Gottalife The same Bill Wilson also wrote “Sobriety, freedom from alcohol, through the teaching and practice of the twelve steps, is the sole purpose of an AA group.”
Joining a twelve step fellowship and not doing the steps is like joining a gym and never using the equipment. The act of joining gets you in the door, but it is the effort you put in to the program that brings the result.
No, I bring the results regardless following the exact program requirement. Secular I am and will be to the death. But not a death as results of alcoholism. Recovered from the tenets of AA and destructive alcoholism I developed my own life saving program wile attending AA. AA is a tool to me. One I use as I need and It worked. I have a very large tool shed, I'm just not a one tool man, as a craftsman I use many tools.
