"THE KEY TO FREEDOM" -

"The Fifth Step

is the key to free-

dom." "Sharing the ex-

act nature of our wrongs

sets us free to live." "If we

are not honest ... we will

have the same negative

results that dishonesty

brought us in the

past." (The Ba-

sic Text, p.

31)

FREE AT LAST -

"This is perhaps difficult -- especially discussing our defects with another person." "When we decide who is to hear our story, we waste no time." "We pocket our pride and go to it, illuminating every twist of character, every dark cranny of the past." " ... we are building an arch through which we shall walk a free man at last." (The Big Book, pp. 72 -75)

"Those who

cannot remem-

ber the past are

condemned to

repeat it."

- George Santayana (1863 - 1952) Spanish-American philosopher

*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.

Zonr Suggestions:

Find a quiet place while you put aside all pre-judgments and open yourself up to the Universal Truths above that unite spiritual traditions from around the world. You may want toreplace alcohol & drugs with your own struggles with smoking, food, sex, money, rage, work, or even love, in order to make each SFZ a closer, personal fit.

*For you and your HP (Higher Power)

To receive your own SFZs each day.
