10 Step promises (your spiritual condition)
p84, 85 AA
And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone–even alcohol.

We react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically.
We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given us without any thought or effort on our part. It just comes!
That is the miracle of it.
We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation.
We feel as though we had been placed in a position of neutrality–safe and protected.

We are neither cocky nor are we afraid.
That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.
