“I received a late-night call from a two- month sponsee. He had a friend who was ready to go to treatment and needed an early morning ride. He had to be there at 7:00 AM for intake. After a few hours sleep I picked up my sponsee and then the newcomer. All the while I kept hearing my sponsor’s voice, “Are you willing to go to any lengths for victory over alcohol.”
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.
- Jim Elliot
Carry this message to other alcoholics! You can help when no one else can. You can secure their confidence when others fail. Remember they are very (original manuscript fatally) ill.
