WE WORK TO CONVERT MISTAKES INTO GOLD -
"We grow by our willingness to face and rectify errors and convert them into assets. The alcoholic's past thus becomes the principal asset of the family and frequently it is almost the only one!" (The Big Book, p. 124)
BECUZ "OUR RECOVERY IS AT STAKE" -
"We may still be slightly hesitant, but we do the best we can. Our recovery is at stake. If we want to continue with our recovery, we must make amends." "Praying for willingness takes our relationship with the God of our understanding a step further." (It Works, How & Why, p. 59)
"If the past has
been an obstacle
and a burden, know-
ledge of the past is
the safest and the
surest emanci-
pation."
- Lord Acton (1834 - 1902) English historian
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself. Like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
