Heart and Soul

People often come to AA for the wrong reasons. Sometimes they're more concerned with pacifying a spouse than earnestly trying to change. One local long-time member tells of how the higher power that guided him to his first meeting was a provincial court judge. I first came chasing a woman. I joined her group and was attending two meetings a week, but obviously my motives were less than pure. Any honest program talk I heard in those days was nothing but a distasteful nuisance.
