Most emphatically we wish to say
that any alcoholic capable of honestly facing his problems
in the light of our experience can recover,
provided he does not close his mind
to all spiritual concepts.
He can only be defeated by an attitude of intolerance
or belligerent denial.
We find that no one need have difficulty
with the spirituality of the program.
Willingness, honesty and openmindedness
are the essentials of recovery.
But these are indispensable.
Intolerance: Contempt prior to investigation.
W H O = Willingness, Honesty, Openmindedness.
