“The purpose of the feeling is to sit with it and to sit with it without trying to relieve it and not being dependent on your sponsor or your friend or your therapist, or an aa meeting, or even a reading from the bible or reading from a book or anything outside of you, that the first thing to do is sit with it yourself and see if you could be with that feeling and just maybe, as you grow and get stronger spiritually.”
