Carrying the Message

I've been sponsoring (by mail) a chap who is 400 miles from the nearest AA contact. He is a cook on a cattle station, and his first letter to me was really pathetic. He had to print it, as the shakes were so bad. It is five months now since he has had a drink, and I'll never cease to marvel at the change which has come in his letters. I am keeping them all as an object lesson in rehabilitation. This man was a wreck five months ago.
