THE PAY IS GREAT

"Are we now ready to let God remove from us all the things which we have admitted are objectionable?" Alcoholics Anonymous, page 76

"Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit." 2 Corinthians 7:1

For what it's worth: By the time I reached Alcoholics Anonymous, the deep seated defects and insecurity already present had made it easy for alcohol to defile my body and spirit. I would have to dig deep to uproot all that was objectionable. Had I known how deep, I may never have picked up the shovel. I thank God Alcoholics Anonymous gave me access to a tool shed, plenty of people to help, and the motivation of The Promises. I have been digging for many sober years and plan to continue, being careful to dig deep enough to get the entire root of the problem. I find that the pay is great. Retirement is even better!

God bless you.
