Where is the phrase “more will be revealed” found in the Big Book or other AA books?The phrase “more will be revealed” is not in the main text of the Big Book though a lot of people assume it is. The closest phrase we know of is from page 164:Our book is meant to be suggestive only. We realize we know only a little. God will constantly disclose more to you and to us.Perhaps the phrase is just remembered that way. The wording of that sentence has been the same in all versions of the Big Book.The wording seems to come from the “Basic Text” of Narcotics Anonymous. The title of Chapter 10 is “More Will Be Revealed” and the last paragraph of the book is:
“We have found a way out, and we see it work for others. Each day more will be revealed.” (Anonpress.org)
Who would have guessed?
Told to write of a revelation —
an obvious answer, a familiar truth.
Who would have guessed
just what writing this poem
was to reveal to me?
