It has no rules, dues, or fees, nor anything else that any sensible organization seems to require.

4.Taking Time Off May Mean More Time On (by Lois B.)
Jim sank into a comfortable chair at the Club House. He had come all the way over, across town, to eat lunch here because he knew, instinctively, that today he needed to be surrounded by A.A. and the gang, but, now that he was here, he wondered why he had come.

A.A. Tribune, Des Moines, Iowa: "If there is someone that needs information on alcoholism, send them to the Alcoholic Information Center.

9.Mail Call for All A.A.s at Home Or Abroad (by G.T.M.)
Michigan -- After five years association with the Toledo, Ohio, A.A. group, the last two of which had been marked by very active participation and attendant good results, I have found myself by force of circumstance and nature of work in this small Michigan town of only 1,200 souls.

10.Wilful Thinkers (by H. B. P.)
Ohio -- So many persons have said to me, "How did you stop drinking; did something happen to you?" Even among fellow A.A.s this question keeps popping up, and many of us have no adequate answer. My personal feeling is that something did happen, and that something is the realization of sobriety.
