"Is sobriety all that we are to
expect of a spiritual awakening? Again, the voice of A.A. speaks up. No,
sobriety is only a bare beginning, it is only the first gift of the first
awakening. If more gifts are to be received, our awakening has to go on.
And if it does go on, we find that bit by bit we can discard the old
life - the one that did not work - for a new life that can and does
work under any conditions whatever.
Regardless of worldly success or
failure, regardless of pain or joy, regardless of sickness or health or
even of death itself, a new life of endless possibilities can be lived
if we are willing to continue our awakening."
