That Honest Desire
IN A RECENT ISSUE OF THE GRAPEVINE[1] I not only read but carefully studied a sincere and well-written article concerning the application of the word "must" to AA; the inference that honesty as a basis for membership in AA needs revision; and, some confusion as to whether the program is simple or easy. While I concede and respect the sincerity of the writer and also his right to opinionate, I find that I have a contrary belief in the matters he has brought forth.
