FIRST, THE FOUNDATION


Is sobriety all that we can expect of a spiritual awakening?  No,
sobriety is only a bare beginning.
As Bill Sees It, p. 8

Practicing the A.A. program is like building a house.  First I had to
pour a big, thick concrete slab on which to erect the house; that, to
me, was the equivalent of stopping drinking.  But it’s pretty
uncomfortable living on a concrete slab, unprotected and exposed to
the heat, cold, wind and rain.  So I built a room on the slab by starting
to practice the program.  The first room was rickety because I wasn’t
used to the work.  But as time passed, as I practiced the program, I
learned to build better rooms.  The more I practiced, and the more I
built, the more comfortable, and happy, was the home I now have to
live in.
