TEXT (p. xiv): The only requirement for membership is an honest desire to stop drinking.
THOUGHT: Compare this line to Tradition Three, which states: "The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking." Thank God I don't have to convince anyone I have an "honest" desire to stop--as long as I say I have a desire to stop, I'm a member. Having said that, it is important to remember that while the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop, recovery requires more.
PRAYER: Father, please enable me to set aside everything I think I know, for an open mind and a new experience; help me to see the truth about the requirements of recovery in A.A.
