They are the words from God which are heard by you in your heart and mind when these are wide open to His spirit. “Lord, to whom shall we go but to Thee? Thou hast the words of eternal life.” The words of eternal life are the words from God controlling your true being, controlling the real spiritual you. “Herein lies our growth, herein lies all the promise of the future, and ever-widening horizon.” Do I carry the A.A. We give our whole lives to God and we try to do His will in every respect. We do not give one compartment of our lives to God and keep the other compartments to ourselves. We do not just practice these principles in regard to our drinking problem. It is the carrying on of the whole program. This part of the twelfth step must not be overlooked.

I am not playing a game in which a loss is a temporary setback. Alcohol will surely kill me if I fail to recognize and acknowledge my disease on a daily basis. My alcoholism lives within me now and forever. If we are planning to stop drinking, there must be no reservation of any kind, nor any lurking notion that someday we will be immune to alcohol.
