"One is not born a Tewa but rather one is made a Tewa... once made,
one has to work hard continuously throughout one's life to remain a Tewa."
Alfonso Ortiz
It
is easy to let up on the spiritual program of action and rest on our
laurels. We are headed for trouble if we do, for alcohol is a subtle foe.
We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve
contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition. Every day is a
day when we must carry the vision of God's will into all of our
activities. "How can I best serve Thee--Thy will (not mine) be done."
These are thoughts which must go with us constantly. We can exercise our
will power along this line all we wish. It is the proper use of the
will. Big Book pg. 85 Great Spirit hear me, help me walk the spirit path.
