“Or perhaps he doesn’t think at all. How often have some of us begun to drink in this nonchalant way, and after the third or fourth, pounded on the bar and said to ourselves, ‘For God’s sake, how did I ever get started again?’” (Page 24, Big Book)
“We have found much of heaven and we have been rocketed into a fourth dimension of existence of which we had not even dreamed.” (Page 25, Big Book)
Olivia Newton-John sang:
“Let’s get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let’s get into physical”
Let’s not. We’ve done enough of the material world.
Let’s try something different:
“Let’s get metaphysical, metaphysical
I wanna get metaphysical
Let’s get into metaphysical”
Alcoholism takes me to the fourth drink, and beyond: the physical.
God takes me to the fourth dimension, and beyond: the metaphysical.
