THE 12 PROMISES OF THE EASIER, SOFTER WAY
THE 12 PROMISES OF THE EASIER, SOFTER WAY
If we're not painstaking about our priorities in recovery, We will fail before we are halfway through. We are going to know the old pains and the old hangovers. We will regret the past and wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word guilt worse than before. No matter how down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can take us down even further. That feeling of usefulllness and selfishness will disappear. We will again have interest in selfish things and lose interest in our fellowman. Self-seeking will slip back into our lives. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will again be very dark and empty. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will return more frighteningly then ever. We will again be baffled by situations that we have begun to handle. We will suddenly realize that God won't do anything for us because we took back our will. Are these depressing promises? We think so. They are being fulfilled among us, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we put anything before our recovery, our activity in the fellowship and our relationship with God. |
