Daily Reprieve

Letter from Bill Wilson, 1954:

“The idea keeps persisting that the instincts are primarily bad and are the roadblocks before which all spirituality falters.  I believe that the difference between good and evil is not the difference between spiritual and instinctual man; it is the difference between proper and improper use of the instinctual.  Recognition and right channeling of the instinctual are the essence of achieving wholeness.”
