What Ever Happened to. . .

What becomes of all the men and women who all of a sudden are not around any more? And has anything happened to our feeling of responsibility?

EVER WONDER what happened to Jim? Haven't seen him at meetings lately. He'd been sober a year or two, coming to our group pretty regular. Seemed to be doing okay.
