"The majority who slip after periods of sobriety, have double-crossed themselves into thinking that somehow they can have the unopened bottle and drink it, too. Even though they have been in A.A. and going to meetings, and following parts of the program, they have accepted it with reservations somewhere.
They actually have been one step ahead of a drink. Then they began playing around with the notion they can drink a little and still have the good things of A.A.
The outcome is as inevitable as the bottle becoming empty once it has been opened by the alcoholic."
-Dr. W.D. Silkworth
"God is, or He isn’t. You leap one way or the other."
Rev. Sam Shoemaker
“God has only three answers to your prayers:
1) Yes
2) Yes, but not now
3) No, because I have something better for you."
"I used to say, "I sure hope things will change." Then I learned that the
only way things are going to change for me is when I change."

Sharing, Fellowship, & Spiritual Growth
"Spiritual growth, love, and compassion are idle potentials until shared with a fellow addict. By giving unconditional love in the Fellowship, we become more loving, and by sharing spiritual growth we become more spiritual." p. 99 of the NA text.
"In addition to these casual get-togethers, it became customary to set apart one night a week for a meeting to be attended by anyone or everyone interested in a spiritual way of life. Aside from fellowship and sociability, the prime object was to provide a time and place where new people might bring their problems." p. 159-160 of the AA text.

 |
|
"We learn to experience feelings and realize they can do us no harm unless we act on them. Rather than acting on them, we call an NA member if we have feelings we cannot handle. By sharing, we learn to work through it. Chances are they've had a similar experience and can relate what worked for them. Remember, an addict alone is in bad company." NA's 'For the Newcomer'
