Hello, I'm new to this group, so I'm not entirely sure how this all works, but I just had a question that I've been doing all kinds of research on and have gotten nowhere on and I'm hoping someone here might have the answer. I apologize if this answer is actually already listed somewhere throughout all of the messages on this forum, but I'm not to sure how to use this all yet and/or how to do a search through all of the postings.
My question is, why is it that the 9th step promises are the dedicated promises read at many meetings? There are several other sets of promises for several other steps in the book Alcoholics Anonymous, so I'm just curious why the 9th step promises were chosen to represent "The AA Promises" in meetings.?
I have a couple of theories, such as perhaps it's because they are closely aligned with being the exact opposite of the bedevilments listed on page 52, or maybe it's because once we finish the 9th step, we move onto our daily action steps (10 is daily inventory, 11 is daily prayer and meditation and 12 is daily work with other alcoholics) but I can't seem to find an actual legit answer to this question anywhere. Thank you in advance for any information you are able to provide me!
