the spiritual foundation of the program is the steps.
going to meetings and not drinking doesnt build the spiritual foundation. new friends dont do that either.
at one time there werent many meetings in the u.s. at one time a man from chicago rode the train to the nearest meeting- in akron. how could he do 90 in 90 and have a spiritual foundation built? people out west and worldwide got sober and built their spiritual foundation by doing what then BB suggests, THEN formed meeting. did they not have a spiritual foundation before starting meetings?
does the bb say meetings and friends are a spiritual foundation?
Did 1-8 in my first two years this time around, and still found myself resentful, fearful, and just insane.
is aa an 8 step program?
