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: doomed 1. Group question: Have you ever felt doomed? Do you feel doomed today, or do you know because you have God and Quiet Time that you are not doomed to your addictions? 2.How grateful are you today for your quality of life being in recovery? 3. How do you show your gratitude to God for this way of life God has graced you with? 4. Do you think, "But for the grace of God," and what does it mean for your step 1? 5. Write the word "wisdom." What does wisdom from your recovery program mean to you? 6. What in your life do you have to have total abstinence from? 7. Are you willing to have relief from your addictions by being entirely abstinent? Or do you want to be willing? 8. Are you willing with total abstinence to be put into a seething cauldron of debate with people who don't agree with you? Are you willing to stay out of debating with people who don't agree with you? 9. Are you willing to bring up the subject of your entire abstinence if appropriate? 10. Do you have the spirit of: a) judging others? b) self-righteousness? c) argumentativeness? d) "my opinion only is the right opinion"? END
