In fact, such a perception only increases the power of that false idea of the separated self. By daily joining with fellow alcoholics as true partners, equals in living sober, helping each other to do the same, being so is effortlessly awakening to the indescribable energy and intelligence perpetually being revealed in that unity, that non-duality. Then the illusion of the false, separated self collapses, along with the untrue ideas of living and being in recovery as a task; work; struggle. Only then is there true freedom from the misery of the past in choiceless awareness of what is there, and what there is now.
