p. 235

Any number of A.A.'s can say, "We were diverted from our childhood faith.  As material success began to come, we felt we were winning at the game of life.  This was exhilarating, and it made us happy.

"Why should we be bothered with theological abstractions and religious duties, or with the state of our souls, here or hereafter?  The will to win should carry us through.

"But then, alcohol began to have its way with us.  Finally, when all our score cards read 'zero,' and we saw that one more strike would put us out of the game forever, we had to look for our lost faith.  It was in A.A. that we rediscovered it."
