Soulwork Big Book The Doctor’s Opinion page xxviii (page 28) All these, and many others, have one symptom in common: they cannot start drinking without developing the phenomenon of craving. This phenomenon, as we have suggested, may be the manifestation of an allergy which differentiates these people, and sets them apart as a distinct entity. It has never been, by any treatment with which we are familiar, permanently eradicated. The only relief we have to suggest is entire abstinence. This immediately precipitates us into a seething caldron of debate. Much has been written pro and con but among physicians, the general opinion seems to be that more chronic alcoholics are doomed. Soul work look up: phenomenon, manifestation, allergy, permanently, eradicated, abstinence (look at the broader meaning of abstinence from ingesting a substance) Write this down: Acceptance of our differentness is the answer to all my emotional struggles. Q1. Like Mark Houston and the Hawke, do you believe that step one is the foundational step of all the 12? And that it is the most important step, giving us the ability to do the rest of the steps and live them out in our lives? [This is your number one question when you get with your buddy group. If you write on nothing else, write on this.] Q2. Do you know what you need to do to stay physically sober, emotionally sober and spiritually fit? Q3. Does it matter what others are doing? Do you compare your recovery with that of others or are you grounded with God and yourself in what you need to do physically, emotionally and spiritually? Q4. Do you believe there is no step more important than step one? Q5. How do you feel about being different from others for the rest of your life? [Once you become a pickle you can never become a cucumber.] ends
