“It is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our laurels. We are headed for trouble if we do, for alcohol is a subtle foe. We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.” (Page 85)
Of the death threats (Step One reservations, resentment, ongoing harm, secrets, failure to face creditors, failure to make amends, resting on laurels, insufficient Twelfth-Step work, and dependence on people, places, and things rather than God), the worst is complacency (resting on laurels). Why? Because it’s the one that blinds me to the rest.
