Spiritus Contra Spiritum

Carl Jung, writing in response to a letter from Bill Wilson said, “Alcohol in Latin is spiritus and you use the same word for the highest religious experience as well as for the most depraving poison. The helpful formula therefore is: spiritus contra spiritum”—the spirit against spirits. ~ Covington, Stephanie S. A Woman’s Way through the Twelve Steps (pp. 229-230). Hazelden Publishing. Kindle Edition.

Spiritus Contra Spiritum.
This is a neat play on words.
This is the way Recovery works.
This is a powerful eternal truth.
