THIS DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN -
"... in Steps One
through Three, we
were given the basic
tools we need to nego-
tiate the path of recovery."
"On this spiritual founda-
tion we lay the principles
of commitment and per-
severance as we work
the Sixth Step." (It
Works, How &
Why, p. 44)
TRY AND TRY AGAIN -
" ... any person
capable of enough
willingness and hon-
esty to try repeatedly
Step Six on all his faults
- without any reservations
whatever - has indeed
come a long way spir-
itually ... ." (12 &
12, p. 63)
"Perseverance
is more prevailing
than violence; and
many things which can-
not be overcome when
they are together,
yield themselves
up when tak-
en little by
little."
- Plutarch (46 AD - 120 AD) Greek historian and essayist
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
