Wives Can Well Follow A.A.'s Example

The old saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink", might, it seems to me, be applied to some of the A.A. wives. Some of us come to meetings with our husbands, purely for their good. In order to attain sobriety, our husbands have climbed the A.A. Steps until they have contacted a Higher Power and gained for themselves a spiritual experience. For them it was a necessity. They had found their way into such trouble and confusion by following their own wills that they just had to find some way to contact the will of God and by obeying it redeem their mistakes.
