"WE DO RECOVER" -
"We realize that
we are never cured,
and that we carry the
disease within us for the
rest of our lives." "... but
we do recover. Each day
we are given another
chance." (The Basic
Text, p. 8)
IF WE DO THE WORK: "WHAT WE REALLY HAVE IS A DAILY REPRIEVE" -
"We are not cured
... . What we really
have is a daily reprieve
contingent on the main-
tenance of our spirit-
ual condition." (The
Big Book, p.
85)
"In his state of
complete powerless-
ness the individual per-
ceives the time he has left
to live as a brief reprieve."
"Perhaps the life quota
allocated revocably by
society is spent"
- Theodor Adorno (1903 - 1969) German philosopher
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.ο»Ώ
