Mail Call for A.A.s at Home and Abroad

AT long last through the Grace of God, I have found A.A. Admitting to the 1st Step took more honesty of heart and mind than I had experienced in ages. Then I began seriously working the whole Program, step by step, into my daily life. That was many months ago and I'm still at it. We never reach perfection and we never graduate from A.A. but we obtain happiness and peace of mind which words can't describe. In my opinion the most important thing we get from the A.A. Program, next to sobriety, is complete and fearless honesty of thought. We learn to face facts as they really are and truth becomes something to be sought rather than to be avoided. I am encouraged now because I feel that through working the A.A. Program, especially the 12th Step, I cannot only be a true friend to myself but also a friend to man.
