Here are the Steps we took...

"'Here are the steps we took,' say those who have gone before. The newcomer finally sees that he, too, must take these Steps before he is entitled to report on them. And in an atmosphere where the constant subject is 'What I did' and 'What I think,' no neurotic can long resist the temptation to get in on the action."

A Member's Eye View of Alcoholics Anonymous p. 17

Final Thought:

"Resentment is the 'number one' offender. It destroys more alcoholics than anything else. From it stem all forms of spiritual disease, for we have been not only mentally and physically ill, we have been spiritually sick."
