Almost none of us liked the self-searching,
the leveling of our pride, the confession of shortcomings
which the process requires for its successful consummation.
But we saw that it really worked in others,
and we had come to believe in the hopelessness
and futility of life as we had been living it.
When, therefore, we were approached
by those in whom the problem had been solved,
there was nothing left for us
but to pick up the simple kit of spiritual tools laid at our feet.
We have found much of heaven
and we have been rocketed into a fourth dimension of existence
of which we had not even dreamed.
The express elevator to sobriety doesn't work --
please use the Steps.
