Lakota Practical experience shows that nothing will so much insure
immunity from drinking as intensive work with other alcoholics. It works
when other activities fail. This is our twelfth
suggestion: Carry this message to other
alcoholics! Big Book pg. 89 You will be most successful with alcoholics if you do not exhibit
any passion for crusade or reform. Never talk down to an alcoholic from
any moral or spiritual hilltop; simply lay out the kit of spiritual tools
for his inspection. Show him how they worked with you. Tell him that if he
wants to get well you will do anything to
help. Big Book pg. 95 Grandfather help us give it away.
