The Challenge of Normalcy

THE new member of Alcoholics Anonymous who has attended only a few meetings is full of hope and faith. He is sure that this new way of life is the solution to many of his ills and he is looking forward to the time when he can say, "I have one year of sobriety." He feels that he is floating on a pink cloud because he has overcome the one evil in life that has been a stumbling block to his success. Without these shackles curtailing his every move he feels free as the school child on the first day of summer vacation.
