Big Book Quote For The Day Wednesday, 3-4-2015
"Assuming we are spiritually fit, we can do all sorts of things
alcoholics are not supposed to do. People have said we must not go where liquor is served; we must not have it in our homes; we must shun friends who drink; we must avoid moving pictures which show drinking scenes; we must not go into bars; our friends must hide their bottles if we go to their houses; we mustn't think or be reminded about alcohol at all. Our experience shows that this is not necessarily so.
We meet these conditions every day. An alcoholic who cannot meet them, still has an alcoholic mind; there is something the matter with his spiritual status."
~Alcoholics Anonymous, 4th Edition, Working With Others, pg. 100~
