How It Works  STEP 9

Although these reparations take innumerable forms, there are some general principles which we find guiding. Reminding ourselves that we have decided to go to any lengths to find a spiritual experience, we ask that we be given strength and direction to do the right thing, no matter what the personal consequences may be. We may lose our position or reputation or face jail, but we are willing. We have to be. We must not shrink at anything. 
-A.A. Big Book p.79   Thanks John............A lifelong journey one day at a time................smilesmile

Good stuff John.

The store ended up with a few thousand dollars worth of good PR on the deal also. Keep doing the right thing, never know who or how you are going to help someone.

Thanks John, ... this is called 'living the program' ... ... ... This is an excellent example of putting the principles into practice and not just doing 'lip service' ... again, thank you for this clip ...
