*~*~*~*~*^ Big Book Quote ^*~*~*~*~*


"We will seldom be interested in liquor. If tempted, we recoil from
it as from a hot flame. We react sanely and normally, and we will
find that this has happened automatically. We will see that our new
attitude toward liquor has been given us without any thought or
effort on our part. It just comes!"


~Alcoholics Anonymous, 1st. Edition,
Into Action, pg. 84~

"That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. We feel as though we had been placed in a position of neutrality - safe and protected. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky nor are we afraid. That is our experience. That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition."

- "Alcoholics Anonymous" Fourth Edition p. 84-85
