This episode was recorded 23rd February 2025Please find the full reading below, enjoy this episode!We Are Not Fighting, p. 121We have ceased fighting anything or anyone–even alcohol. For by thistime sanity has returned. We can now react sanely and normally, andwe find that this has happened almost automatically. We see that thisnew attitude toward liquor is really a gift of God.That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoidingtemptation. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem hasbeen removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky norafraid.That is how we react–so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.Alcoholics Anonymous, pp. 84-85 Support the show

Greg B - No personal power - Reading 114 As Bill Sees It
Send us a textGreg B from London shares at the Sheffield Sunday As Bill Sees it meeting. This episode was recorded 13th October 2024.Please find the full reading below, enjoy this episode!No Personal Power, p. 114“At first, the remedy for my personal difficulties seemed so obvious that I could not imagine any alcoholic turning the proposition down were it properly presented to him. Believing so firmly that Christ can do anything, I had the unconscious conceit to suppose that He would do everything through me–right then and in the manner I chose. After six long months, I had to admit that not a soul had surely laid hold of the Master–not excepting myself.“This brought me to the good healthy realization that there were plenty of situations left in the world over which I had no personal power–that if I was so ready to admit that to be the case with alcohol, so I must make the same admission with respect to much else. I would have to be still and know that He, not I, was God.”Letter, 1940Support the show
