Chapter 5 How It Works

[Sanity Returns]

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly
followed our path. Those who do not recover
are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves
to this simple program, usually men and women
who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with
themselves. There are such unfortunates. They are not
at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are
naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner
of living which demands rigorous honesty.

Not positive but I believe "W" used running as his primary tool to help
stay sober. Exercise is a big tool for a lot of folks.
