Welcome to
Big Book Awakening Australia
A New Life
Is sobriety all that we are to expect of a spiritual awakening? No, sobriety is only a bare beginning – it is only the first gift of the first awakening. If more gifts are to be received, our Awakening has to go on. As it does go on, we find that bit by bit we can discard the old life – the one that did not work – for a new life that can and does work under any conditions whatever.
Regardless of worldly success or failure, regardless of pain or joy, regardless of sickness or health or even of death itself, a new life of endless possibilities can be lived if we’re willing to continue our awakening, through the practice of AA’s Twelve Steps.
