1. We continue to take personal inventory and continue to set right any new mistakes as we go along. (84:2)
2. We vigorously commenced this way of living as we cleaned up the past. (84:2)
3. We have entered the world of the Spirit. (84:2)
4. Love and tolerance of others is our code. (84:2)
5. We have ceased fighting anything or anyone even alcohol. (84:3)
6. For by this time sanity will have returned. (84:3)
7. We will seldom be interested in liquor. If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame. (84:3)
8. We react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically. (85:0)
9. We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given us without any thought or effort on our part. It just comes! That is the miracle of it. (85:0)
10. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. (85:0)
11. We feel as though we had been placed in a position of neutrality-safe and protected. (85:0)
12. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. (85:0)
13. We are neither cocky nor are we afraid. (85:0)
14. That is our experience. That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition. (85:0)
15. We are headed for trouble if we do, for alcohol is a subtle foe. (85:1)
16. We are not cured of alcoholism. (85:1)
17. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. (85:1)
18. Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God’s will into all of our activities. (85:1)
19. “How can I best serve Thee-Thy will (not mine) be done.” These are thoughts which must go with us constantly. (85:1)
20. We can exercise our will power along this line all we wish. It is the proper use of the will. (85:1)
