Attending a meeting this evening, a member detailed an interesting instruction given him by his sponsor: mark every direction in the book with the letter D.
It sounds like a very useful exercise; I think it's easy to overlook the fact that this book is a set of instructions, as opposed to merely being an intellectual enterprise.
But, along with those instructions, we are given descriptions of what we may expect as we take action.
So, I'd like to pose the following challenge: find me one page between 1 and 164 in the book, Alcoholics Anonymous (aka 'the Big Book') which doesn't contain at least one promise. Either directly stated or implied. Because, I'm not sure it can be done.
