Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path
considering the only measurement we have is not drinking, could it be as simple as rarely have we seen a people drink again? Hmmmmm food for thought
Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path
The forums ‘traffic’ goes up and down, when it’s up we see new people joining and asking questions, and other oldtimers pitching in. When it’s down it’s like an empty AA meeting room, new people look in, see no action there and leave. It was in one of those slumps that Greywolf posed a question, in short order we had seven posts on that topic, we were picking up speed again, then saying we are thinking too much was like sticking a spoke in the wheel and killing the momentum. Now in part due to that topic getting some folks posting, we have a lively forum this morning.
Those who do not
recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves

Seems he wants to know what path Bill, Dr. Bob and the alcoholics who were the originators of this portion of How It Works were talking about. He also wanted to know what was meant by "fail"?

With Bill in New York, Dr. Bob in Akron and the newly sober alcoholics split up between the 2, how did they get the book written?

guided by God.
