Send to Stephanie at: Stephanie Whiting PO Box 531 North Pembroke MA 02358 Soul work The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous: The Doctor’s Opinion: Letter from Dr Silkworth. Look up: epic, annals, remedy. Q1. What is the the first word of There is a Solution on page 17? Write on this. Q2. If you have not yet looked up Dr Silkworth do so. He is an inspiration. He was not an addict. He was one in a million who really cared. Q3. How many chances has God sent you? When were you finally ready? Q4. What was your ‘But for the grace of God’ moment? ‘In late 1934 I attended a patient who, though he had been a competent businessman of good earning capacity, was an alcoholic of a type I had come to regard as hopeless.’ Q5. Were you of the hopeless type? You may not be. You may be a moderate or only a problem drinker/overeater etc. And the physical was not the problem but the emotional sobriety was. Or you may be a moderate with your addiction but you came to program spiritually bankrupt. ‘I personally know scores of cases who were on the type with whom other methods had failed completely.’ Q6. What other methods did you use to curb your addiction even during your time in your step one fellowship? Q7 Can you look back with detachment and gratitude and say yes that is how it was and this is how it is now? Or do you still regret the past? ‘These facts appear to be of extreme medical importance..’ Q8 What is your condition of extreme medical importance? What consequences has your addiction had on your medical health? Q9. Draw a three legged stool and write: physical, emotional and spiritual at each leg and then draw a stool with only two legs. And lastly a one-legged stool. Is it (are you) you going to stand? No. Your physical environment effects your emotional sobriety. Your emotional sobriety in turn affects your spiritual wellbeing which affects your physical wellbeing. You cannot separate them. Q10. Have you lived as if one were more important than the other? ‘You may rely absolutely on anything they say about themselves.’ Q11. Can people rely absolutely on what you say about yourself? Or are you a street angel and a house devil? When you go to your step one fellowship are you all nice and then not nice at home? Are you 100 percent the same on the outside as on the inside? Question for answering during the workshop. Q12. What was your defining moment when you turned from being a hopeless case to having hope and bringing that hope to fruition?
