C: The only insanity we're going to deal with in this next chapter, is that dealing with alcoholism itself, with alcohol itself. It's not going to deal with anything else. Now, later on I found out that I wasn't too swift in a hell of a lot of other areas, too. (laughter) 

But in the beginning all I'm concerned with is my ability to see the truth about alcohol. If I can see the truth, I can make sane decisions. If I make sane decisions, I can take sane actions, and everything's okay. But if I can't see the truth, then I make insane decisions I take insane actions which result in pain and suffering and humiliation for me. This whole next chapter will be designed to show us the insanity of alcoholism, which we must be restored from. 

See, we've already looked at Step One. We've already looked at Step Two. But now then we're going to reinforce Step Two, to show us why we absolutely have to have the vital spiritual experience in order to restore us to sanity so that we can see the truth about alcohol. Joe? 

J: Let's have lunch. We start on Chapter Three right after lunch, one o'clock.
