BECOMING NUMB TO WHAT MAKES SENSE -
"They sound like
the philosophy of the
man who, having a head-
ache, beats himself on the
head with a hammer so
that he can't feel the
ache." (The Big
Book, p. 23)
HOW DENIAL & IMPAIRMENT SHIELD US FROM THE TRUTH -
"Maybe we saw a
friend go to jail, or
lose their apartment,
or lose their job, or lose
the trust of their family, or
die. But our clouded minds
wouldn't admit we were
next. Most of us saw no
way out, believing that
we would use until
the day we died."
(Crystal Clear,
p. 8)
"Against
logic there is
no armor like
ignorance."
- Laurence J. Peter (1919 - 1988) U.S., educator / author
HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
