Interesting...What is the source for that story about the promises. I had never heard it before.
TIA

When Bill W. was writing the Book he got to the point (page 83) where he felt he needed to inject some promising hope. So when he was at the meeting that night (at his house) he asked all the people attending to write down some hopeful, and promising things they'd experienced from working the Steps. When they passed in all their answers Bill counted over 120 enlightening things from the group. He narrowed them down to 12 for the book.
