Texas Preamble

A few months after the Grapevine published the Preamble in June 1947, Ollie L., Dick F., and Searcy W. decided to beef it up for the drunks in Texas. "We worked on it, passed it around, and agreed on this version," says Searcy W. "It's now read by groups throughout the state." It works for Searcy. He's been sober 54 years.
