MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING
Fear ... Of economic insecurity will leave us. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 84
Having fear reduced or eliminated and having economic circumstances improve, are two different things. When Iowas new in AA, I had those two ideas confused. I thought fear would leave me only when I started making money. However, another line from the Big Book jumped off the page one day when I was chewing on my financial difficulties: 'For us, material well-being always followed spiritual progress; it never preceded.' (p. 127). I suddenly understood that this promise was a guarantee. I saw that input priorities in the correct order, that spiritual progress would diminish that terrible fear of being destitute, just as it diminished many other fears. Today I try to use the talents God gave me to benefit others. I've found that is what others valued all along. I try to remember that I no longer work for myself. I only get these of the wealth God created, I never have 'owned' it. My life's purpose is much clearer when I just work to help, not possess.
