We Do Have a "Must

TENACITY is more than endurance, it is endurance combined with the absolute certainty that what we are looking for, (sobriety) is going to transpire. Tenacity is more than just attending many meetings to overcome the fear of losing sobriety. Tenacity is not only the supreme effort for sobriety, but tenacity has that firmness of belief and conviction that will never let go. If you have or can develop the quality of tenacity, you cannot fail, but remember it must be a tenacity covering all the steps of our program. Not just Step One, Four, Nine, Ten and forgetting the other steps. You cannot mold this program to suit your own desires and purposes if you are to succeed, if you are to achieve the true purpose as implied in these twelve steps. You my friends must mold yourself to fit this program and its principles.
