Excerpts from Group Publications

The Eye Opener, Los Angeles, Calif.--"The remarkable thing about this A.A. is that it sneaks up on you exactly as your drinking did.

I didn't know it then but I was so tense when I joined A.A. that I didn't need the aid of a hypnotist to stretch myself between two chairs. . . The hardest job I had then--and still have--is to take it easy. I think I'm on the right track now, however. . . We've found A.A.--which means that our sobriety is practically a foregone conclusion. And if that be true, why not relax and enjoy it?"
