“I'm still alcoholic. I'm still allergic to alcohol. And I still have alcoholism. I never really have, after the meditation, heard people talk about the experience of meditating like that. And so, you see, I could have talked to you about Step 11 and meditation, and we could have had a meeting about meditating, but that doesn't help me, not one bit. Because you can't have an experience of meditation without meditating. They don't sit down and do it as like a thing. And you don't have to right now. You're meditating and listening, doing a listening, eyes open, breathing meditation.”
