THE BEAUTY OF 'CONTRARY ACTION' -
"For without
some degree of
humility, no alcohol-
ic can stay sober at all."
"Without it, they cannot live
to much useful purpose, or,
in adversity, be able to
summon the faith that
can meet any emer-
agency." (12 &
12 p. 70)
CHERISH THE BLEMISH ON THE PEARL -
"We are humbled by
our imperfection - but let
there be no mistake; humil-
ity is the ideal state for an ad-
dict to be in. Humility brings
us back down to earth and
plants our feet firmly on
the spiritual path we
are walking." (It
Works, How &
Why p. 48)
"It belongs to the
imperfection of every-
thing human that man can
only attain his desire by
passing through its
opposite."
- Soren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855) Danish philosopher
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
