AA is a spiritual program and a spiritual way of life.
Even the first half of the First Step,
"We admitted we were powerless over alcohol,"
is a spiritual experience.
An AA member needs more than physical capabilities;
he needs the use of his full faculties as a human being
to hear the message, to think about it,
to review the effects of the past, to realize,
to admit, and to accept.
These processes are activities of the mind,
which is part of the spirit.
Spirituality is the ability to get our minds off ourselves.
