GOAT

 From one of Bill W's pamphlets, this one on faith and spirituality . . . .

"(New members) just don't realize that faith is never a necessity for A.A. membership; that sobriety can be achieved with an easily acceptable minimum of it, and that our concepts of a higher power and God as we understand Him afford everyone a nearly unlimited choice of spiritual belief and action."

More from the Sponsorship pamphlet . . . 

"The principle of rotation not only allows (established) members to move on in service, but also give newer members the privilege of serving.  Rotation also allows them to understand that no one should hold onto a position of trust long enough to feel a proprietary interest and thereby discourage newcomers from service.  Experience shows clearly that the members getting the most out of the A.A. program, and the groups doing the best job of carrying the A.A. message to still-suffering alcoholics, are those for whom sponsorship is too important to be left to chance."

Paul Tillich was a German existential philosopher and highly influential Lutheran cleric . . . 

"The awareness of the ambiguity of one's highest achievements as well as one's deepest failures is a definite symptom of maturity."

I'm not so bad and I'm not so great.  I'm not a piece of %^$!! and I'm not the GOAT.  I'm just a dude . . . right in the middle.
