He usually just got on my nerves because of his hammy attempts at being folksy. We are spared that in this book. When Chuch spoke at meetings his focus was helping newcomers to understand and accept. The editor has left that focus out and gives something that will be more appealing to people with a little more time who have worked on the steps. This book deals more with the spiritual aspect of the program. But, my first sponsor used to say, "There is no nonspiritual aspect of the program." ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

It's a spiritual book and it's a loaded topic to unpack. Here are the threads I followed:
p.33 "Surrender is the thing that opens the door that us to get help." I have a neighbor for whom the options are surrender or death. She is choosing death. Her case is so black and white that it's easy to see, but for all of us, there is this choice, so subtly shaded that we all the easier deny it.
p.66 "I could not accept a God of that kind and I don't now. My insides wouldn't hack it and they still don't. But a God of love and a great law of justice without judgement, I can go with. It's a fantastic thing." Churches have failed if we don't communicate this. Just flat failed.
p. 127 " And so it depends on where we are as to what we can do, and what we have to get rid of."
p. 129 "In my opinion, the definition of sobriety is the ability to live comfortably, peacfully and joyously with me. This is sobriety."
