REMEMBER NO DEPOSIT, NO RETURN -
"Beginning with
Step, Four we com-
menced to search out
the things in ourselves
which had brought us
to physical, moral, and
spiritual bankrupt-
cy." (12 & 12,
p. 107)
APPRAISING OUR FAILINGS & STRENGTHS ENRICHES OUR SELF-WORTH -
"Many of us dreaded the process of self-appraisal ... ." "Though we were afraid, we went forward." "Once our inventory was completed, we no longer needed convincing. In the process, we had experienced spiritual growth for ourselves. Our spirits were strengthened by our emerging integrity." (It Works, How & Why, p. 83)
"I was
spiritually
bankrupt, and
when that happens,
it's like a spiritual
cancer afflicts
you."
- Mel Gibson (1956 - ) Australian actor / director
