Mail Call for All A.A.s at Home Or Abroad

Two years membership in A.A. gives me a clearer viewpoint toward spiritual growth. A neighbor passed our house one morning during one of his periodic binges; he appeared quite shaky so I surmised he was after more alcoholic beverages. On his arrival home he ventured out to hand me a quart of beer over the fence. I refused it with no temptation whatsoever. Having been in the same sorry plight so many times, however, I couldn't help but sympathize and understand another so afflicted. I had a deep desire to be helpful, to find assistance but at that particular time I was handicapped in being any great help. Then it came to my mind how helpless and completely lacking we mortals are at times even in our desires to be helpful and how very much we need the help of God.
