I remember being in these rooms for a number of years.
I was in the rooms,
but I didn’t have anything to give back.
I just drank the coffee,
ate the donuts,
and talked the talk,
because I hadn’t had that spiritual experience yet.
I hadn’t done the steps.
In the chapter, The Doctor’s Opinion, Dr. Silkworth writes
…”they found something that had depth and weight.”
And you can hear that in a speaker, when they have something that has depth and weight in their sobriety. They’ve got something to give away. Joyful discoveries are in direct proportion to how much I give away. One begets the other.
God keeps supplying that “gold,” making my joy full. If I start to hold on to that, then I lose that joyful discovery. I only get to be part of that joyful discovery when I am part of the cycle of sobriety and recovery. I’m giving it away @@@ I’m supplied @@@ I’m giving it away @@@ I’m supplied.
Before, we only had a common heartache, and a common headache, and now we have a common fellowship. and we are like these little nuggets of fine gold, and there is a gold rush
going on.
