Lovely post SerenityRiver. You will be familiar with the chapter 5 reading where it gives some reasons why people do not recover. "They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty"
I remember when I was new that phrase really stuck in my mind and I tried to be as honest as I could, bearing in mind something my sponsor told me about a tendency to confuse honesty with accuracy.
I like this other little passage which i hope will give you some encouragement too.
" 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."
