I Won the Boxing Gloves (And the Big Book)

MY initial contact with AA was through a doctor called to attend me who pronounced my condition as the "latter stage of acute alcoholism." He doubted that he could save my life, but was willing to try provided I would stop drinking. He stated emphatically that I couldn't do it on my own, but that AA might help. That was February 28, 1946. I have not had a drink since.
