Our Spiritual Gift

ALONG WITH the joy of participating in the God-given program of AA, there is often, for me, a deep sense of sadness. This sadness is attributable to my observation that many members struggle and have great difficulty in finding the spiritual part of the program. I think it is a fair statement that those who do experience a spiritual awakening attain a type of sobriety guaranteed by the program. Additionally, it also appears quite clear that the deeper the spiritual experience, the greater the strength of a person's sobriety.
