The spirit is all-inclusive for those who try to find Him or whom ever their conception of God is.
When the alcoholic finds the acceptance to believe in a power greater than themselves, a path to recovery can begin. Chapter 5 introduces an important understanding about selfishness that the alcoholic, up until this point at least, is probably unaware of. Further, it describes the necessity to rid both this selfishness and self-centeredness from our lives habits.
Into Action details the need for the alcoholic to humble themselves. By doing step 5 and admitting their faults to another person, preferably a sponsor in AA, the alcoholic can complete their personal housecleaning. In addition to gaining humility, the alcoholic must gain a sense of fearlessness and honesty which only comes about when sharing their experience with another human being. The twelfth step from the 12 steps of aa states that nothing helps the alcoholic more than working with other alcoholics.
We see a chapter which is devoted to the explanation and understanding given to those closest to us and the affect our alcoholism has had on them and what they can do to support their loved one on this journey in their recovery. This chapter explains what the recovery process looks like and gives suggestions on how to approach re-integrating a relationship with their loved one in a healthy and loving manor by setting boundaries and holding them accountable.
Explains and recognizes the damage caused by us in active addiction with respect to our employers. Many alcoholics have struggled to keep our addiction a secret and although we may not have been approached on the subject, people notice our patterns and behaviors. Therefor we find it necessary for our employers to gain some knowledge about who they are dealing with. Full of inspiration and hope for the future. We have been given instructions and guidance with the utmost detail on how to combat alcoholism up to this point and if we so choose to embark on this journey, countless blessing will arise from our hard work and dedication.
Blessings and promises we could not have imagined coming true in our lives while we were still drinking. The program of AA and all that surrounds it, is a movement toward a better life and living with purpose in a world where so many are lost in the darkness. We are able to spread light, hope and grace to those who suffer so that they too may see their true purpose is to live healthily and happily.
