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 pgs. 15 & 16 Creator let us share the power of the four gifts.
