I Have Another Drunk In Me

But I cannot tell you I have another recovery. It is possible I will only be given this opportunity once and I am taking it for all it is worth!

“For if an alcoholic failed to perfect and enlarge his spiritual life through work and self-sacrifice for others, he could not survive the certain trials and low spots ahead. If he did not work, he would surely drink again, and if he drank, he would surely die. Then faith would be dead indeed. With us it is just like that.”

I’m grateful this works for me. As does this;

“Here and there, once in a while, alcoholics have had what are called vital spiritual experiences. To me these experiences are phenomena. They appear to be in the nature of huge emotional displacements and rearrangements. Ideas, emotions, and attitudes which were once the guiding forces of the lives of these men are suddenly cast to one side, and a completely new set of conceptions and motives begin to dominate them.”

That’s right – the Twelve Steps work. Well. They save lives. Then make us better human beings.

Priceless.
