Slips
Slips can often be charged to rebellion; some of us are more
rebellious than others. Slips may be due to the illusion that one can
be 'cured' of alcoholism. Slips can also be charged to carelessness
and complacency. Many of us fail to ride out these periods sober.
Things go fine for two or three years -- then the member is seen no
more. Some of us suffer extreme guilt because of vices or practices
that we can't or won't let go of. Too little self-forgiveness and too
little prayer -- well, this combination adds up to slips.

Thought to Ponder . . .
Knowledge of "the answers" never made anyone
slip--it was failing to practice "the answers" known.
