Arrow Big Book Quote

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

"When we decide who is to hear our story, we waste no time. We have
a written inventory and we are prepared for a long talk. We explain
to our partner what we are about to do and why we have to do it. He
should realize that we are engaged upon a life-and-death errand.
Most people approached in this way will be glad to help; they will be
honored by our confidence."

Alcoholics Anonymous, Into Action, pg. 75

I did my 1st 5th step in treatment and they brought in a Catholic priest for us to do it with. And even though I was still pretty toxic I did my best at a 4th step, and then did my 5th with him. I got a lot out and I did feel better. I have done a few since then with sponsors.

I love the story about when Bill Wilson met Father Dowling. He described that as the night he finally took AA's 5th step ( according to the book Not God by Ernest Kurtz)
