Sober and happy

Our purpose is to share experience for the good of other alcoholics. So many forget that. They get high-flown ideas and forget the humble, simple AA which got them their sobriety, heaven alone knows why. You can use all the big words and highly educated language, but the things that 'get home' are the basic four letter words. "One day at a time"; "We can bear the burdens of one day, but, if we pile on those of yesterday and the ones we may have tomorrow, our back breaks."
