ENTERING A NEW DIMENSION
In the late stages of our drinking, the will to resist has
fled. Yet when we admit complete defeat and when we become
entirely ready to try A.A. principles, our obsession leaves
us and we enter a new dimension – freedom under God as we
understand Him.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 283
I am fortunate to be among the ones who have had this awesome
transformation in my life. When I entered the doors of A.A.,
alone and desperate, I had been beaten into willingness to
believe anything I heard. One of the things I heard was,
“This could be your last hangover, or you can keep going
round and round.” The man who said this obviously was a
whole lot better off than I. I liked the idea of admitting
defeat and I have been free ever since! My heart heard what
my mind never could: “Being powerless over alcohol is no
big deal.” I’m free and I’m grateful!
