12&12
Step Twelve, p.124
Service,
gladly rendered,
obligations squarely met,
troubles well accepted or
solved with
God's
help, the
knowledge that at
home or in
the
world outside we are
partners in a
common effort, the
well-
understood fact that in
God's
sight all
human beings are
important, the
proof that
love freely given surely brings a
full return, the
certainty that
we are
no longer isolated and
alone in
self-
constructed prisons, the
surety that we
need no longer be
square pegs in
round holes but can
fit and
belong in
God's
scheme of
things -- these are
the
permanent and
legitimate satisfactions of
right living for which
no amount of
pomp and
circumstance,
no heap of
material possessions, could
possibly be
substitutes.

BB
More About Alcoholism, p.31
Here are some of the
methods
we have
tried:
Drinking beer only,
limiting the
number of
drinks,
never drinking alone,
never drinking in the
morning,
drinking only at
home,
never having it in the
house,
never drinking during business hours,
drinking only at
parties,
switching from
scotch to
brandy,
drinking only
natural wines,
agreeing to
resign if
ever drunk on the
job,
taking a
trip, not
taking a
trip,
swearing off
forever (with
and
without a
solemn oath),
taking more physical exercise,
reading inspirational books,
going to
health farms and
sanitariums,
accepting voluntary commitment to
asylums --
we could
increase the
list
ad infinitum.

those occasions when

make a
careful review of our

with one who might misunderstand.

be nearly enough.
12&12
Step Five, p.59
Hence it was most
evident
that a
solitary self-
appraisal, and the
admission of our
defects based upon that
alone, wouldn't be
nearly enough.
