There's a lot of recovery there.
The one quip that jumps out at me is:
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.Experience is the first course of recovery, the bitter trudge that gets us in the door. Imitation is beginning recovery: "fake it 'til you make it", the sponsor/sponsee relationship, etc. Reflection comes with Step 11.
So, as is often the case, addicts get it all backwards. But we end up in the right place.
