OFTEN IT'S COMING TO TERMS -

"Resentful attitudes toward others will defeat our recovery. We correct this attitude in the practice of Step Nine. Amends integrate our personalities by harmonious, helpful relation with God [our H.P.] and the victims of our insane ... obsessions." (The Little Red Book, p. 90)

AND LIVING IN SPIRITUAL HARMONY -

"Incorporating the spiritual principles we learned in the first nine steps into our lives has made it possible to live in harmony with ourselves and others. Self-examination ... and owning up to our wrongs are critical elements of conducting our lives on a spiritual basis." (It Works, How & Why,p. 69) 

"Happiness

is when what

you think, what

you say, and what

you do are in harmony."

- Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948) India Independence Movement Leader from British rule
