Consider the Old-timers

From the June 1949 Grapevine

Consider AA old-timers--those fellows who've been continuously dry and happy for four, five, six or more years. Everybody takes them for granted. They have no problems! Or have they? The Number One problem, drinking, has receded almost to the vanishing point. Economically they're pretty well straightened out. Some, in fact, are already working on their second millions. The family snarl, if any, has usually been desnarled either in a reunited brood, a new marriage, or a comfortable retreat to single blessedness.
