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

Grateful for Year's Sobriety

As I am not able to be in attendance at the meeting this evening, I would like to write a few words to express my appreciation and thanks for what A. A. has done for me. Tonight, I completed my first year of sobriety--so I am most thankful to God and A. A. for that and many other things. I cannot find words to express my gratitude but let me say this, I have never felt better nor have I ever been happier than I am at present. So to all the members, and especially the newer ones, I'll leave this thought--if we will let the A. A. program help us, we cannot fail. We may get disgusted and become depressed, but if we will stick to the 24-hour program and trust in God, everything else will take care of itself and work out all right. I hope that I do not sound as if I were preaching. I am very, very sincere in that thought. So thanks again to A. A. and all my fellow members for the help they have given me, and for the satisfaction that is mine, due to the most wonderful organization in the world.
