| 1. | Stub of a Pencil (by G.O.L.) Utah -- Having been particularly blessed by the opportunity of being in the right place at the time to found an A.A. group, I would like to pass a few observations on the growth of a member. | April 1946 | |
| 2. | My Daily Moral Inventory Month_________Year________ Check Results DAILY in Proper Column | June 1946 | |
| 3. | Accept or Analyze? (by E.L.) Illinois -- "If you want sobriety more than anything else in life, you can get it." This simple statement repeated with the monotony of a mechanical radio commercial was and is the starting point of my happiness. The confusion which is the natural consequence of an alcoholic existence was intensified in my case by an almost uncontrollable desire to analyze every statement, reaction, and action which touched my life. I had to know. The fact that I ended up more confused made no difference. All would be simple if I could only know why I drank--why this happened to me--why the program worked. Why? | September 1946 | |
| 4. | Mail Call for All A. A.s at Home Or Abroad (by J.F.) California -- Alcoholism is a disease, not a symptom of a disease. The symptoms are extended hangovers, insatiable thirst, inability to stop, jitters, butterflies, sleepless nights, blackouts, prolonged sprees and loss of moral character. These are just a few; there are many others. | January 1947 | |
| 5. | Editorial: "We're entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character." | April 1947 | |
| 6. | A.A. Holds Key to Powers (by H.B.) Illinois -- (The author of the following died as the result of a traffic accident on his way home from a meeting at which this talk was given.--Ed.) | September 1947 | |
| 7. | Faith Can Be Cultivated (by Pete D.) Washington, D. C. -- I am an alcoholic, now sober in A.A. for two and a half years. For that I am grateful to A.A., to a Power greater than A.A., and to a power which vastly transcends any power I have ever had, or now have. | September 1947 | |
| 8. | Miracles Apparent (by Pete D.) Washington, District of Columbia -- I came to A.A. three years ago (February 24, 1945) because I did not know what else to do, and because I had heard it was some sort of screwball outfit where dried-up drunks helped others of their ilk to stay sober. Staying Sober Was My Problem | January 1948 | |
| 9. | Sobriety Is a Friend Worth Cultivating (by P.O.L.) Kansas -- Through A.A. we first met sobriety and now it is the one thing we strive to always keep in mind. Not only in a personal and in a literal sense but also as a symbol--a symbol of everything that is good in life. | January 1948 | |
| 10. | What's a Good Reason? (by S.C.) Michigan -- WHAT'S the best reason to give when refusing a drink? It's a common question, especially for the newcomer. | November 1948 | |
