Big Book Chapter 5 How It Works Page 59: Half measures availed us nothing. We stood at the turning point. We asked HIs protection and care with complete abandon. Every couple of months Stephanie will announce that she will stay on until 9.30am (EST) to allow more time for any questions. Soul work Look up: availed, nothing, abandon, protection, care, complete abandon, scrupulosity. Half measures availed us nothing. We stood at the turning point. We asked HIs protection and care with complete abandon. Q1a) Half fill a glass with water. What is your instinct when you look at it? Do you see it as half-empty or half-full? b) Taking this experience, put it into your life script and ask whether as a philosophy, you have always looked at life as half full or half empty? Half measures availed us nothing. We stood at the turning point. We asked His protection and care with complete abandon. Q2 Write on this sentence. What does half measures mean in this context?
Draw: the triangle of the spiritual ‘we’ over the word. (You in one corner and your fellowship, accountability people, sponsors etc in the other with HP on the top). Write down: We stood at the turning point. 1. We are part of the collective whole (we don’t stand isolated all by ourselves). We are part of a ‘spiritual we’. We are not alone or terminally unique. Asked. 2. We cannot assume that we will be helped unless we ask. We need to put aside our pride (the beginning of all half measures: the great ‘I am’) and have to ask God. Ask for a buddy, for accountability, for prayer.
