| 1. | A Group of Brothers (by M. J.) Texas -- IN a sleepy little town, deep in the piney woods of east Texas, there is a different kind of family group from the Al-Anon Family group. This is an AA group of brothers. | January 1960 | |
| 2. | A Kiss for a Penny (by R. C.) Texas -- THROUGH suddenly blurring eyes, the glittering silver dollar on the Vegas bar took on the proportions of a dull penny. Abe Lincoln's face seemed distorted and dirty. I looked up and struggled vainly to get an understanding smile from the bartender, but he was cold and disinterested. | January 1960 | |
| 3. | A Time to Put Up. . . (by A. L. P.) California -- IT is no wonder that so many of us have said that in coming to AA we have found exactly what we have been looking for all of our lives. I think I might alter this to say that I have found just exactly what I had heatedly professed was needed by the rest of mankind and, in some weird sort of way, what I believed that I, myself, already possessed. | January 1960 | |
| 4. | AA Conformity and Individualism (by H. B. in "Here's How) Illinois -- MEMBERS of Alcoholics Anonymous share a common problem and in many ways are alike. They have the need and, in due time, the urge to conform as part of the therapy. | January 1960 | |
| 5. | Alcoholism and the Researcher (by Humphry Osmond, M.D.) Saskatchewan -- TFOR ALCOHOLICS, drinking is a life-belt which turns into a millstone. Some of those afflicted with alcoholism band themselves together in AA to maintain one of the essential conditions for survival necessary for them--sobriety. The shield of sobriety and the Twelve Steps of AA which maintain sobriety have saved many lives. This does not actually cure alcoholism, but it does arrest it. Many alcoholics, possibly most of those belonging to AA, are concerned more with sobriety and continuing it than with anything else. They are probably correct, but for the researcher who is not personally enmeshed in the illness, while the value of sobriety is obvious, he can learn very little from this alone. | January 1960 | |
| 6. | Amiable--Nuts! (by Little Lord Fauntleroy) New York -- IT has been said of me that in my drinking days I was an "amiable drunk." By that they meant, I suppose, that I did not engage in brawls, carried no particular chip on my shoulder and did not steal Uncle Ezra's dentures just before Thanksgiving dinner. | January 1960 | |
| 7. | Back from Outer Space (by T. B.) New York -- SUCCESSFUL AAs have a re-entry problem, just like space vehicles. Ours is the re-entry into the atmosphere of a society we departed years before. | January 1960 | |
