The groups are firm

Today we received Bill's picture. We hope that its presence will remember many of our companions, that a drunkard like Bill for twenty-eight years hasn't stopped working a single moment to carry the message, and if he hadn't done it, today there would be no cure for our illness. In AA, in most of the cases, people who have been recuperated one or two years forget how they arrived and who received them; some lose the faith and won't start again, a sad epilogue for a man that had happiness and let it go just because of not helping others. In our group we have always said: "Let us not forget how we came to AA and what we have received."
