| 1. | About Alcoholism - Alcoholism Information, Research, and Treatment (by The Alcoholism Report) Many of these items are contrary to AA philosophy. Their publication here does not mean that the Grapevine endorses or approves them; they are offered solely for your information. | January 1990 | |
| 2. | Around AA If there is, Class A (nonalcoholic) trustee John King, who was elected to AA's General Service Board in April 1986, just might qualify. In addition to his current service as a nonalcoholic trustee on the Fellowship's General Service Board, and concurrently a director of the Grapevine Corporate Board, he has served on the boards of nineteen nonprofit corporations--and no one had to twist his arm! | January 1990 | |
| 3. | Around AA--1990 International Convention Celebrates It happens every five years, a super-celebration of sobriety, where AA members from all over the world get together and go to a meeting--and another meeting, and another. In 1990 it will happen in Seattle, on the weekend of July 5-8, when more than 45,000 sober alcoholics are expected to attend AA's 55th Anniversary International Convention. | January 1990 | |
| 4. | Attitude Adjustment (by Anonymous) Georgia -- The other night at our regular Wednesday meeting, a woman said that she had a "slip" after three and a half years of "quality" sobriety. In that meeting there were a few people--too few--with long-term sobriety, and many from treatment centers and halfway houses who were but a few short months away from a drink. | January 1990 | |
| 5. | Baby Boom (by Cathy D.) New Jersey -- It's said around AA that the only thing you need to start a meeting is a resentment and a coffeepot. Our group needed one thing more--a babysitter. | January 1990 | |
| 6. |  Cartoons | January 1990 | |
| 7. | Every Blade of Grass (by Robert S.) New York -- Journal entry: It's Columbus Day and my AA anniversary. I arrived in Los Angeles on Friday, after a 3,500 mile, three-month bicycle trip across the United States. The question most people have asked me is, "Why did you do this thing?" | January 1990 | |
| 8. | Ham on Wry It wasn't all business at the West Central Regional Forum in Billings, Montana last August. One of the speakers--a former delegate--told this story: | January 1990 | |
| 9. | Ham on Wry ANOTHER SPEAKER at the Forum said that when he was drinking, his psychologist wife referred to him as "My insignificant other." | January 1990 | |
| 10. | Ham on Wry AT A TEMPERANCE RALLY the lecturer cried, "Who has the most money to spend? Who drives the biggest car? The saloon keeper! Who has the most fur coats? The saloonkeeper's wife! And who pays for all this? You do, my friends!" | January 1990 | |
