NO REST FOR THE WEARY - 

"It is easy to

let up on the

spiritual program

of action and rest

on our laurels. We are

headed for trouble if

we do, for alcohol

is a subtle foe."

(The Big Book,

p. 85)

HOW COMPLACENCY BREEDS "GUILT, REMORSE, FEAR and PRIDE" - 

"... we are dealing with a destructive, violent power greater than ourselves that can lead to relapse... . If we remain complacent for long, the recovery process ceases ... . Denial returns, along with obsession and compulsion ... . Guilt, remorse, fear, and pride may become unbearable." (The Basic Text, pp. 83 -84)

"Don't let your

special character

and values, the se-

cret that you know and

no one else does, the truth

 - don't let that get swal-

lowed up by the great

chewing compla-

cency."

- Aesop (620 - 560 BC) Greek
