    p. 17: "We are like passengers of a great liner the moment after rescue from a shipwreck when camaraderie, joyousness and democracy pervade the vessel from steerage to Captain's table. Unlike the feelings of the ship's passengers, however, our joy in escape from disaster does not subside as we go our individual ways. The feeling of having shared in a common peril is one element in the powerful cement which binds us. But that in itself would never have held us together as we are now joined."

    Sydney discusses p. 30 from More About Alcoholism: "We learned that we had to fully concede to our innermost selves that we were alcoholics. This is the first step in recovery. The delusion that we are like other people, or presently may be, has to be smashed. We alcoholics are men and women who have lost the ability to control our drinking. We know that no real alcoholic recovers control...We are like men who have lost their legs; they never grow new ones."

We are headed for trouble if we do, for alcohol is a subtle foe. We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God's will into all of our activities.”

    Gil discusses p. 66: "It is clear that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness...But with the alcoholic whose hope is the maintenance and growth of a spiritual experience, this business of resentment is infinitely grave..." Gil shares what it is like having been inwardly reorganized, and having found inner access to his higher power through the process outlined in the Big Book.

Time after time newcomers have tried to keep to themselves certain facts about their lives...Almost invariably they got drunk. Having persevered with the rest of the program, they wondered why they fell. They took inventory all right, but hung on to some of the worst items in stock."
