The Twelve Steps Revisited/Step 12

OFTEN, if we keep our ears open, we have a chance to learn something from someone much younger in the movement than ourselves. Such an opportunity came to me a couple of months ago. A visiting AA from the midwest, "in" a relatively short time, got to talking about difficult Twelfth Step cases. I told him about one of mine, a neighbor who had recently called to ask what he could do about his drinking "short of joining AA." I had given him my story and said that in my own case nothing but AA had worked.
