As Bill Sees It
Worshipers All, p. 23
We found that we had indeed been worshipers. What a state of
mental goose flesh that used to bring on! Had we not variously
worshiped people, sentiment, things, money, and ourselves?
And then, with a better motive, had we not worshipfully beheld the
sunset, the sea, or a flower? Who of us had not loved something or
somebody? Were these not things the tissue out of which our lives
were constructed? Did not these feelings, after all, determine the
course of our existence?
It was impossible to say we had no capacity for faith, or love, or
worship. In one form or another, we had been living by faith and
little
else.
Alcoholics Anonymous, p. 54
