The Fellowship as a 'Higher Power'

The 'God' Word, p. 12

Final Thought:

"During our drinking days, we imagined not-drinking as a grim, grey, joyless affair...Sobriety offers an abundance of laughter, friendship, the excitement of spiritual and emotional discoveries, and moments of just plain joy."

Emotional Sobriety, p. 101
