4.We have learned, or are learning that alcoholism is a permanent disease which can be arrested but never cured. This surely is a thing we cannot change. We can change our way of thinking and living with courage and detachment and with the help of the program. Conscious and conscientious practice of all the principles of the program lifts us into a good, healthy way of life in which we have courage to meet what ever comes. One simple way is for us to do every-thing in God's name and for God, then we can't go wrong.
Freedom can come through education of the public.
Much work is still needed to rid the disgrace, shame, and guilt attached to alcoholism. Live the program. Freedom from letting go and letting God. Only by living the program, day in and day out, can we really know it and when we know the program can we give help to there. Carry the message' is a great way to maintain the freedom we have learned.
