The Touchstone
Someone who knew what he was talking about once remarked that pain
was the touchstone of all spiritual progress. How heartily we A.A.'s
can agree with him, for we know that the pains of alcoholism had to
come before sobriety, and emotional turmoil before serenity.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Ten) pp. 93 - 94
Thought to Ponder
