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

THE man with measles gets a break. That break is marked by a million little red irritations. The irritations of the alcoholic are just as obvious. We medicate the measles and they disappear and seldom if ever do they return. We medicate the alcoholic also but we do not completely banish his breaking out. We may break up our binges but so many times the symptoms do not cease. After the arrestment of our inebriety over a long period, we begin to feel that everybody in and out of A.A. owes us a continued catering to. Instead of striving for contentment, we are apt to develop and nourish contention. This makes us break out and our irritations are more hectic and annoying than all the measles in the medical books.
