Spiritual?

From another AA book “Came To Believe” and from Bill W. on page 1;

“Spiritual?”

Do not let any prejudice you may have against spiritual terms deter you from honestly asking yourself what they might mean to you.

From other members;

“Yes, I began with blind faith, but the proof of truth is that it works.”

“I learned in the Fellowship that if others could accept me and love me as I was, then I should love myself as I was – not for what I was, but for what I could become.”

Spirituality is “freedom – if you consider fear slavery. Peace of mind in the face of adversity. Gratitude for every happenstance of the past that brought you to a moment of justice. Patience in the face of stupidity. Feeling that you want to knock somebody’s head off – and walking away instead. Seeing a caterpillar turn into a butterfly.”

When people look at you and wonder what’s with you, the look in your eyes will answer them: “Because I can cut it!”

A Sober, Clean Day To All,
