G - R - O - W

I believe the best way to grow in AA is just to g-r-o-w, go right on working. When I was new in AA I'd go to a meeting and keep a little spot about eighteen inches square warm for an hour, groan and sigh at the testimonies, hurt all over when I put in a dollar and all the while I had debts out-lawed by that time. I'd stand up and tell other AA's I was standing on solid ground when I was standing in a pair of shoes I hadn't paid for yet. I expected my wife to do anything and to do without anything because I was sober. . . I was.
