SAVJEST GRUPE

„…ponekad je dobro neprijatelj najboljeg.“
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS COMES OF AGE, str. 101

Mislim da se ove riječi odnose na svaku oblast tri nasljeđa A.A.-a: Oporavak, Jedinstvo i Službu! Želim da budu urezane u mom umu i mom životu dok „koračam putem srećne sudbine“ (Alcoholics Anonymous, str. 164). Ove riječi, koje je često izgovarao suosnivač Bill W., njemu su bile upućene kao rezultat savjesti grupe. Podsjetile su ga na suštinu naše Druge tradicije: „Naši vođe su samo pouzdani službenici; oni ne vladaju.“

Kao što je i Bill W. bio podsjeten, vjerujem da u našim grupnim razgovorima nikada ne treba da se zadovoljimo „dobrim“, već uvijek da težimo „najboljem“. Ta zajednička težnja je još jedan primjer kako se Bog, onako kako Ga razumijemo, izražava kroz savjest grupe. Ovakva iskustva mi pomažu da ostanem na pravom putu oporavka. Učim da spojim inicijativu sa poniznošću, odgovornost sa zahvalnošću, i tako uživam u radostima svog dvadesetčetvoročasovnog programa.

OUR GROUP CONSCIENCE

“. . . sometimes the good is the enemy of the best.”
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS COMES OF AGE, p. 101

I think these words apply to every area of A.A.’s Three Legacies: Recovery, Unity and Service! I want them etched in my mind and life as I “trudge the Road of Happy Destiny” (Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 164). These words, often spoken by cofounder Bill W., were appropriately said to him as the result of the group’s conscience. It brought home to Bill W. the essence of our Second Tradition: “Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.”

Just as Bill W. was originally urged to remember, I think that in our group discussions we should never settle for the “good,” but always strive to attain the “best.” These common strivings are yet another example of a loving God, as we understand Him, expressing Himself through the group conscience. Experiences such as these help me to stay on the proper path of recovery. I learn to combine initiative with humility, responsibility with thankfulness, and thus relish the joys of living my twenty-four hour program.

POUZDANI SLUŽBENICI

Oni su sluge. Njihova je, ponekad nezahvalna, privilegija da obavljaju poslove grupe.
DVANAEST KORAKA I DVANAEST TRADICIJA, str. 134

U romanu Zorba the Greek, Nikos Kazantzakis opisuje susret između glavnog junaka i starca koji je zauzeto radio sadeći drvo. „Šta to radiš?“ pita Zorba. Starac odgovara: „Pa vidiš i sam šta radim, sine moj, sadim drvo.“ „Ali zašto sadiš drvo“, pita Zorba, „ako nećeš doživjeti da vidiš kako donosi plod?“ A starac odgovara: „Ja, sine moj, živim kao da nikada neću umrijeti.“ Taj odgovor izmami blag osmijeh na Zorbinom licu i, dok odlazi, uzvikuje sa dozom ironije: „Kako čudno — ja živim kao da ću umrijeti sjutra!“

Kao član A.A., otkrio sam da je Treće nasljeđe plodno tlo u kojem mogu zasaditi drvo svoje trijeznosti. Plodovi koje ubiram su divni: mir, sigurnost, razumijevanje i dvadeset četiri sata vječnog ispunjenja; i zdrava svijest da slušam glas svoje savjesti kada mi, u tišini, nježno govori: moraš se predati služenju. Postoje drugi koji moraju saditi i ubirati.

TRUSTED SERVANTS

They are servants. Theirs is the sometimes thankless privilege of doing the group’s chores.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 134

In Zorba the Greek, Nikos Kazantzakis describes an encounter between his principal character and an old man busily at work planting a tree. “What is it you are doing?” Zorba asks. The old man replies: “You can see very well what I’m doing, my son, I’m planting a tree.” “But why plant a tree,” Zorba asks, “if you won’t be able to see it bear fruit?” And the old man answers: “I, my son, live as though I were never going to die.” The response brings a faint smile to Zorba’s lips and, as he walks away, he exclaims with a note of irony: “How strange—I live as though I were going to die tomorrow!”

As a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, I have found that the Third Legacy is a fertile soil in which to plant the tree of my sobriety. The fruits I harvest are wonderful: peace, security, understanding and twenty-four hours of eternal fulfillment; and with the soundness of mind to listen to the voice of my conscience when, in silence, it gently speaks to me, saying: You must let go in service. There are others who must plant and harvest.

JEDNAKOST

Naše članstvo treba da obuhvati sve koji pate od alkoholizma. Zato ne smijemo odbiti nikoga ko želi da se oporavi. Članstvo u A.A. nikada ne bi smjelo da zavisi od novca niti od prilagođavanja. Dva ili tri alkoholičara okupljena radi trijeznosti mogu sebe nazvati A.A. grupom, pod uslovom da kao grupa nemaju nikakvu drugu pripadnost.
ALKOHOLIČARI ANONIMNI, str. 563

Prije A.A., često sam imao osjećaj da se ne „uklapam“ među ljude oko sebe. Obično su „oni“ imali više ili manje novca od mene, a moji stavovi nijesu bili u skladu sa „njihovima“. Količina predrasuda koju sam doživio u društvu samo mi je potvrđivala koliko su neki „pravednici“ lažni. Nakon što sam došao u A.A., pronašao sam način života koji sam tražio. U A.A. nijedan član nije bolji od drugog; svi smo samo alkoholičari koji pokušavaju da se oporave od alkoholizma.

EQUALITY

Our membership ought to include all who suffer from alcoholism. Hence we may refuse none who wish to recover. Nor ought A.A. membership ever depend upon money or conformity. Any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves an A.A. group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 563

Prior to A.A., I often felt that I didn’t “fit in” with the people around me. Usually “they” had more/ less money than I did, and my points of view didn’t jibe with “theirs.” The amount of prejudice I had experienced in society only proved to me just how phony some self-righteous people were. After joining A.A., I found the way of life I had been searching for. In A.A. no member is better than any other member; we’re just alcoholics trying to recover from alcoholism.

SLOBODE A.A.-a

Vjerujemo da već znamo šta su naše različite slobode; da nijedna buduća generacija članova A.A. nikada neće osjetiti potrebu da ih ograniči. Naše A.A. slobode stvaraju tlo na kojem istinska ljubav može da raste.
THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART, str. 303

Žudio sam za slobodom. Prvo, slobodom da pijem; kasnije, slobodom od pića. Program oporavka u A.A. počiva na temelju slobodnog izbora. Nema naredbi, zakona niti zapovijesti. Duhovni program A.A.-a, kako je izložen u Dvanaest koraka, i kroz koji mi se n**e još veće slobode, samo je predložen. Mogu ga prihvatiti ili odbiti. Sponzorstvo se nudi, ne nameće, i dolazim i odlazim kako želim. Upravo te i druge slobode omogućavaju mi da ponovo pronađem dostojanstvo koje je bilo zdrobljeno teretom alkohola, a koje je toliko potrebno da bi se održala trajna trijeznost.

A.A.’s FREEDOMS

We trust that we already know what our several freedoms truly are; that no future generation of AAs will ever feel compelled to limit them. Our AA freedoms create the soil in which genuine love can grow. . . .
THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART, p. 303

I craved freedom. First, freedom to drink; later, freedom from drink. The A.A. program of recovery rests on a foundation of free choice. There are no mandates, laws or commandments. A.A.’s spiritual program, as outlined in the Twelve Steps, and by which I am offered even greater freedoms, is only suggested. I can take it or leave it. Sponsorship is offered, not forced, and I come and go as I will. It is these and other freedoms that allow me to recapture the dignity that was crushed by the burden of drink, and which is so dearly needed to support an enduring sobriety.

UČENJE NIKADA NE PRESTAJE

Predaj se Bogu onako kako Ga ti razumiješ. Priznaj Mu svoje greške i priznaj ih svojim bližnjima. Raščisti ruševine svoje prošlosti. Daj slobodno od onoga što si pronašao i pridruži nam se. Bićemo s tobom u zajedništvu Duha i sigurno ćeš sresti neke od nas dok budeš koračao Putem srećne sudbine. Neka te Bog blagoslovi i čuva—do tada.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, str. 164

Ove riječi mi svaki put stegnu grlo kad ih čitam. Na početku je to bilo jer sam osjećao strah, kao da je sve završeno, kao da sada ostajem sam i kao da se više nikada neće vratiti ta svježina prvog dodira sa istinom. Danas osjećaj više nije strah nego tiha zahvalnost. Osjećam duboku bliskost sa onima koji su ovo napisali, jer u nekoliko rečenica sabrali su cio put kojim idem. Shvatam da ništa nije završeno, da se ništa ne zatvara, nego da se sve tek otvara. Učenje ne prestaje jer život ne prestaje, a Bog ne prestaje da djeluje. Nema tog trenutka kada si sam, osim kad se sam odvojiš. I nema tog dana koji je isti, osim ako ga sam učiniš mrtvim.

Čovjek dugo vjeruje da će doći trenutak kada će sve razumjeti, kada će konačno “stići”. Ali istina je drugačija. Nema dolaska, ima samo hod. Nema kraja, ima samo produbljivanje. Što više daješ, više ti se otvara. Što više priznaješ, više si slobodan. Što se više predaješ, manje si izgubljen.

I tu negdje prestaje potreba za velikim odgovorima. Ostaje jednostavna disciplina srca. Dan po dan. Korak po korak. I jedno tiho saznanje koje nosi mir: nisi sam, nikad nijesi bio, i ako ostaneš u tom odnosu, svaki novi dan će imati isti onaj miris početka.

THE TEACHING IS NEVER OVER

Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny. May God bless you and keep you—until then.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 164

These words put a lump in my throat each time I read them. In the beginning it was because I felt, “Oh no! The teaching is over. Now I’m on my own. It will never be this new again.” Today I feel deep affection for our A.A. pioneers when I read this passage, realizing that it sums up all of what I believe in, and strive for, and that—with God’s blessing—the teaching is never over, I’m never on my own, and every day is brand new.

PUNO I ZAHVALNO SRCE

Trudim se da čvrsto držim istinu da puno i zahvalno srce ne može da njeguje velike umišljenosti. Kada je čovjek ispunjen zahvalnošću, njegovo srce prirodno vodi ka ljubavi prema drugima, najuzvišenijem osjećanju koje možemo da upoznamo.
AS BILL SEES IT, str. 37

Vjerujem da smo mi u Anonimnim alkoholičarima srećni jer nas stalno podsjećaju na potrebu za zahvalnošću i na to koliko je ona važna za našu trezvenost. Istinski sam zahvalan za trezvenost koju mi je Bog dao kroz A.A. program i radujem se što mogu da vratim ono što mi je slobodno dato. Zahvalan sam ne samo za trezvenost, već i za kvalitet života koji mi je ona donijela. Bog je bio dovoljno milostiv da mi podari trezne dane i život ispunjen mirom i zadovoljstvom, kao i sposobnost da dajem i primam ljubav, i priliku da služim drugima, u našem bratstvu, svojoj porodici i zajednici. Zbog svega toga imam puno i zahvalno srce.

A FULL AND THANKFUL HEART

I try hard to hold fast to the truth that a full and thankful heart cannot entertain great conceits. When brimming with gratitude, one’s heartbeat must surely result in outgoing love, the finest emotion that we can ever know.
AS BILL SEES IT, p. 37

I believe that we in Alcoholics Anonymous are fortunate in that we are constantly reminded of the need to be grateful and of how important gratitude is to our sobriety. I am truly grateful for the sobriety God has given me through the A.A. program and am glad I can give back what was given to me freely. I am grateful not only for sobriety, but for the quality of life my sobriety has brought. God has been gracious enough to give me sober days and a life blessed with peace and contentment, as well as the ability to give and receive love, and the opportunity to serve others—in our Fellowship, my family and my community. For all of this, I have “a full and thankful heart.”
