PO Box 1980

I have been receiving the Grapevine for "a few twenty-fours" and noticed how complacent I had become about reading the articles (which may have been a reflection of how my program was doing). However, I read the article "Not a Threat--a Promise," in the October 1985 issue, and realized how the extended effort to give this program to others had helped a fellow member renew his attitude. This brought back memories of the happiness and joy I received when I was active with newcomers, sponsees, service, and Twelfth Step work. It made me reflect on the quality of the program that I presented. Did I convey to others the serenity and happiness that working the Twelve Steps can bring? Did I carry the message and not just the words?
