12&12
Step One, p.22
Even these "
last-
gaspers"
often had
difficulty in
realizing how
hopeless they
actually
were.
6.
But the
difficulty is that
few alcoholics have
enough desire to
stop while there is
yet time.
7.
8.
The
second difficulty is this:
what
comes to us
alone may be
garbled by our
own rationalization and
wishful thinking.
9.
We do not
know of
many cases where this
difficulty lasted long.
10.
Having been
granted a
perfect release from
alcoholism,
why then shouldn't
we be
able to
achieve by the
same means a
perfect release from
every other difficulty or
defect?
11.
12.
That the
man who is
making the
approach has had the
same
difficulty, that he
obviously knows what he is
talking about, that his
whole
deportment shouts at the
new prospect that he is a
man with a
real answer, that he has
no attitude of
Holier Than
Thou,
nothing whatever except the
sincere desire to be
helpful; that there are
no fees to
pay,
no
axes to
grind,
no people to
please,
no lectures to be
endured --
these are the
conditions we have
found most
effective.
13.
We
find that
no one need have
difficulty with the
spirituality of the
program.
