Enthusiasm

"My wife and I abandoned ourselves with enthusiasm to the idea of helping other alcoholics to a solution of their problems." (Page 15)

"If he is enthusiastic your cooperation will mean a great deal. If he is lukewarm or thinks he is not an alcoholic, we suggest you leave him alone." (Page 113)

"The practical answer is that since these things have happened among us, they can happen with you. Should you wish them above all else, and be willing to make use of our experience, we are sure they will come." (Page 153)

The programme requires enthusiasm. Not lukewarm! 'Above all else'.
