NONE OF US IN AA reads headlines like these without a brief shudder. . . a fleeting vision of "There but for the Grace of God". . . and a moment of gratitude and thanks. Those of us, that is, who go our daily way free to follow any road. . . as long as we stay away from just one drink. But there are many thousands who have found the inner freedom AA offers, whose opportunity to test their AA convictions in a normal world is denied them. For some the waiting is temporary. . . others must practice these principles in all of their affairs behind prison walls--some for years, a few perhaps forever. Joe is one of those and one of us.
