UPOZNAJ BOGA; UPOZNAJ MIR

Jasno je da život koji uključuje duboku ogorčenost vodi samo u besmisao i nesreću… Ali kod alkoholičara, čija je nada održavanje i rast duhovnog iskustva, pitanje ogorčenosti je beskrajno ozbiljno.
— Alcoholics Anonymous, str. 66

Upoznaj Boga; upoznaj mir.
Bez Boga; bez mira.

KNOW GOD; KNOW PEACE

It is plain that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness. . . . But with the alcoholic, whose hope is the maintenance and growth of a spiritual experience, this business of resentment is infinitely grave.

IT’S OKAY TO BE ME

Time after time newcomers have tried to keep to themselves certain facts about their lives. . . . they have turned to easier methods. . . . But they had not learned enough humility. . . .
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, pp. 72-73

Humility sounds so much like humiliation, but it really is the ability to look at myself—and honestly accept what I find. I no longer need to be the “smartest” or “dumbest” or any other “est.” Finally, it is okay to be me. It is easier for me to accept myself if I share my whole life. If I cannot share in meetings, then I had better have a sponsor—someone with whom I can share those “certain facts” that could lead me back to a drunk, to death. I need to take all the Steps. I need the Fifth Step to learn true humility. Easier methods do not work.

THE EASIER, SOFTER WAY

If we skip this vital step, we may not overcome drinking.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 72

I certainly didn’t leap at the opportunity to face who I was, especially when the pains of my drinking days hung over me like a dark cloud. But I soon heard at the meetings about the fellow member who just didn’t want to take Step Five and kept coming back to meetings, trembling from the horrors of reliving his past. The easier, softer way is to take these Steps to freedom from our fatal disease, and to put our faith in the Fellowship and our Higher Power.

SLOBODAN NA KRAJU

Još jedna velika nagrada koju možemo očekivati kada svoje mane povjerimo drugom ljudskom biću jeste poniznost — riječ koju mnogi pogrešno razumiju. A ona, u suštini, znači jasno prepoznavanje onoga što zaista jesmo i iskren pokušaj da postanemo ono što bismo mogli biti.

DVANAEST KORAKA I DVANAEST TRADICIJA, str. 58

Duboko u sebi znao sam da, ako ikada želim da budem radostan, srećan i slobodan, moram podijeliti svoj prošli život sa drugim čovjekom. Radost i olakšanje koje sam osjetio nakon toga ne mogu se opisati riječima. Gotovo odmah poslije Petog koraka osjetio sam slobodu od ropstva sopstva i ropstva alkohola. Ta sloboda traje već 36 godina, dan po dan. Shvatio sam da Bog može učiniti za mene ono što ja nijesam mogao učiniti za sebe.

FREE AT LAST

Another great dividend we may expect from confiding our defects to another human being is humility – a word often misunderstood. . . . it amounts to a clear recognition of what and who we really are, followed by a sincere attempt to become what we could be.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 58

I knew deep inside that if I were ever to be joyous, happy and free, I had to share my past life with some other individual. The joy and relief I experienced after doing so were beyond description. Almost immediately after taking the Fifth Step, I felt free from the bo***ge of self and the bo***ge of alcohol. That freedom remains after 36 years, a day at a time. I found that God could do for me what I couldn't do for myself.

A RESTING PLACE

All of A.A.’s Twelve Steps ask us to go contrary to our natural desires . . . they all deflate our egos. When it comes to ego deflation, few Steps are harder to take than Five. But scarcely any Step is more necessary to longtime sobriety and peace of mind than this one.
— TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 55

After writing down my character defects, I was unwilling to talk about them, and decided it was time to stop carrying this burden alone. I needed to confess those defects to someone else. I had read—and been told—I could not stay sober unless I did. Step Five provided me with a feeling of belonging, with humility and serenity when I practiced it in my daily living. It was important to admit my defects of character in the order presented in Step Five: “to God, to ourselves and to another human being.” Admitting to God first paved the way for admission to myself and to another person. As the taking of the Step is described, a feeling of being at one with God and my fellow man brought me to a resting place where I could prepare myself for the remaining Steps toward a full and meaningful sobriety.

RESPECT FOR OTHERS

Such parts of our story we tell to someone who will understand, yet be unaffected. The rule is we must be hard on ourself, but always considerate of others.
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 74

Respect for others is the lesson that I take out of this passage. I must go to any lengths to free myself if I wish to find that peace of mind that I have sought for so long. However, none of this must be done at another’s expense. Selfishness has no place in the A.A. way of life.
When I take the Fifth Step it’s wiser to choose a person with whom I share common aims because if that person does not understand me, my spiritual progress may be delayed and I could be in danger of a relapse. So I ask for divine guidance before choosing the man or woman whom I take into my confidence.

“HOLD BACK NOTHING”

The real tests of the situation are your own willingness to confide and your full confidence in the one with whom you share your first accurate self-survey. . . . Provided you hold back nothing, your sense of relief will mount from minute to minute. The dammed-up emotions of years break out of their confinement, and miraculously vanish as soon as they are exposed. As the pain subsides, a healing tranquility takes its place.
— TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, pp. 61-62

A tiny kernel of locked-in feelings began to unfold when I first attended A.A. meetings and self-knowledge then became a learning task for me. This new self-understanding brought about a change in my responses to life’s situations. I realized I had the right to make choices in my life, and the inner dictatorship of habits slowly lost its grip.
I believe that if I seek God I can find a better way to live and I ask Him daily to assist me in living a sober life.

ŠUMA I DRVEĆE

… ono što nam dolazi kada smo sami može biti iskrivljeno našom sopstvenom racionalizacijom i željama. Prednost razgovora sa drugom osobom je u tome što možemo dobiti njen direktan komentar i savjet o našoj situaciji…
Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, str. 60

Ne mogu izbrojati koliko sam p**a bio ljut i frustriran i rekao sebi: „Ne vidim šumu od drveća!“ Konačno sam shvatio da mi je, kada sam u takvom bolu, potreban neko ko može da me usmjeri da razdvojim šumu i drveće; neko ko može da predloži bolji put kojim da krenem; neko ko može da pomogne da ugasim požare; i da mi pomogne da izbjegnem stijene i zamke.

Molim Boga, kada sam u šumi, da mi da hrabrost da se obratim članu A.A.
