The elders placed four gifts into the hoop: the gift of healing,
the gift of hope, the gift of unity and the power to forgive the
unforgivable. Sacred
Hoop
We commenced to
make many fast friends and a fellowship has grown up among us of which it
is a wonderful thing to feel a part. The joy of living we really have,
even under pressure and difficulty. I have seen hundreds of families set
their feet in the path that really goes somewhere; have seen the most
impossible domestic situations righted; feuds and bitterness of all sorts
wiped out. I have seen men come out of asylums and resume a vital place in
the lives of their families and communities. Business and professional men
have regained their standing. There is scarcely any form of trouble and
misery which has not been overcome among us. In one western city and its
environs there are one thousand of us and our families. We meet frequently
so that newcomers may find the fellowship they
seek. Big Book
