The
TWELVE PROMISES
of
A.A.
If we are painstaking about this phase
of our developement, we will be amazed
before we are half way through. We are
going to know a new freedom and a new
happiness. We will not regret the past
nor wish to shut the door on it. We will
comprehend the word serenity and we will
know peace. No matter how far down the
scale we have gone, we will see how our
experience can benefit others. That
feeling of uselessness and self-pity
will disappear. We will lose interest in
selfish things and gain interest in our
fellows. Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life
will change. Fear of people and of
economic insecurity will leave us. We
will intuitively know how to handle
situations which used to baffle us. We
will suddenly realize that God is doing
for us what we could not do for
ourselves.
... Are these
extravagant
promises? We think not. They are being
fulfilled amoung us--sometimes quickly,
sometimes slowly. They will always
materialize if we work for them.
