AA by Mail

I HAVE a friend in AA and I just feel awful for this guy. He has been in for over five years now and his sobriety means everything to him after many long years of drinking--because Andy ain't young anymore. But this is why I feel badly for Andy. Now here is a nice man doing his best to stay sober and help others to stay sober and what does he wind up doing? Letter writing all the time. Why? Because of me. You see, I live way out in the country and I don't have a car to drive to all of the meetings. While Andy and the other members would come out here, we are mostly snowed in for three of the winter months. Now some people like to writer letters but Andy never wrote letters until he joined AA. In fact I doubt that Andy so much as sent his dear faithful wife a birthday card. That's the way Andy was. Not anymore.
