“I grew up ina home where discipline was enforced. There was structure. We had a schedule - and we kept to it. I couldn’t wait to be on my own, and live life “my way.” This eventually got me to A.A. - where I found structure, a sponsor, meetings and commitments. “Old principles” gave me a new life.
Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.
— Frank Herbert
…let me pass on what I consider the four paradoxes of how A.A. Works.
- We surrender to win.
- We give away to keep.
- We suffer to get well.
- We die to live.
