Did you say you wanted more promises? You say the ninth step
Promises are too far down the line to wait for? You say you need
some concrete evidence that all this Step work is going to be worth
YOUR PRECIOUS time?

Well, fear not friends, because the co-authors of the Big Book have
got you covered. For a limited time, and a limited time only,* they
have got some promises for you right now, right in Step Three. So
here's some:

Promises in Step Three:

1) Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will
not completely give themselves to this simple program.
(On men and women who are constitutionally incapable
of being honest with themselves). (58:1)

2) The result was nil until we let go absolutely. (From
trying to hold on to our old ideas) (58:3)

3) Without help it is too much for us. (On letting
go completely) (59:0)

4) But there is One who has all power-that One is God. (59:0)

5) Half measures availed us nothing. (59:1)

6) No one among us has been able to maintain anything
like perfect adherence to these principles. (60:1)

7) We were alcoholic and could not manage our own lives. (60:2)

8) Probably no human power could have relieved our
alcoholism. (60:2)

9) God could and would if He were sought. (60:2)

10) Any life run on self-will can hardly be a success. (60:4)

11) On that basis we are almost always in collision
with something or somebody, even though our motives
are good. (By running life on self-will) (60:4)

12) That, we think, is the root of our troubles. (On
Selfishness-self-centeredness) (62:1)

13) Our troubles, we think, are basically of our own
making. (62:2)

14) Above everything, we alcoholics must be rid of
this selfishness. We must, or it kills us! (62:2)

15) God makes that possible.(Getting rid of selfishness)(62:2)

16) There often seems no way of entirely getting rid of
self without His aid. (62:2)

17) Neither could we reduce our self-centeredness much
by wishing or trying on our own power. (62:2)

18) We had to have God's help. (On reducing
self-centeredness much) (62:2)

19) We had to quit playing God. It didn't work (62:3)

But thats not all!

Take step three before midnight tonight and receive a free, thats
right, FREE dose of gratitude. Now you don't have to wait till Step
9 for some amazement in your life. With step three you can start
amazing your friends and amazing your family too, starting today.*

Operators** are standing by.

Peace,

* Offer expires if Step 4 is not begun immediately.

** Operators are sponsors who have experienced these same promises
by having turned THEIR lives and wills over the care of God. Light
bulbs, doorknobs and other earthly objects will invalidate this
offer. Offer void where prohibited by dishonesty.
