“Once the miracle of sobriety has been received … Providence expects all of us to work and to grow — to do our part in maintaining our blessings in full force. A perpetual miracle — with no effort or responsibility on our part — simply isn’t in the cards. We all understand that the price of both personal and group survival is willingness and sacrifice, vigilance and work.”
AA Co-Founder, Bill W., April 1958,“Guardian of AA: Our General Service Conference”, The Language of the Heart
