PO Box 1980

In the February issue, the articles "Traditional AA in the Traditional Way," by Anonymous, Wisconsin, and "What Is the AA Way?," by John W. North, started me on a new trend of thought. For the past 24 hours (six years of them), I have been reading two little books daily ("guide books," according to John W. North). There were days when I was forcing myself to read those books, because I thought I had to in order to live the AA way. After reading those two articles, I decided all I had done was to put down one crutch and pick up another--I had exchanged the booze for the books. So I thought I would put the books down, too.
