when i honestly look at the bedevilments listed on page 52 of the big book which define me as an alcoholic, the promises on page 83-84 do seem extravagant. havin watched others in the rooms in my early recovery, use what they learned about themselves, solve their problems by a simple reliance upon a Power greater than themselves, i had to stop doubtin the power of God. self-sufficient reliance had brought me to the rooms. my HP, God, may have had a hand in the direction to the rooms, but i was the one who put me in the situations to get to His direction. so, these extravagant promises, as far-fetched as they may have seemed at first, have been fulfilled in my life. as i toiled and wrestled with my inner self, seekin solution to the pollutions i had lived my life by in the days of doin my dirt, life started changin fer me. the promises materialized slowly as i took action workin toward healthy behavioral, emotional, psychological, and spiritual solutions. 1 day @ a time...
