Welcome Marco, we don't quote Stools and Bottles, we do have a section baaed on working on Character Defects. It is about me working on what I need, but open to others sharing.

I did find a quote in one of the AA Thought for Day readings for August 26:

Prayer for the Day: God, we pray for faith and spiritual courage to face our problems. Grant us wisdom to know our weakness and strength to rebuild our lives. - From Stools & Bottles

Found this posted on another site:

The discussion of the steps bought to mind the author of "stools and bottles".....who came from my area.

He spoke at my home group many years ago.

I have often said the "old-timers" of the 60' and 70' era of AA used metaphores and analogies to explain complicated thoughts in "simple" terms!

How about this one?:

The 12 steps are like a 3 legged stool:

Steps 1, 2 and 3 are the legs of that stool.......the remaining steps go on top of the stool. If one of the 3 supporting legs (steps 1-2-3) breaks, the entire stool will collapse!

I did a search on line too and the book can be purchased.

Of course we do have the daily readings.

Welcome to the site, thank you for saying hello. I hope you will continue to come and share your journey with us.

Strange, did a search and it didn't come up. I thought it was here, but figured it was on her old site.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
