Carrying the Message in Hindi

Please allow me to share my good feelings with all of you. It's the joy of service. Yesterday, a daily newspaper came out with an article in Hindi about Alcoholics Anonymous. It had our helpline number and my personal mobile number, which was included by mistake by the journalist who had interviewed me for the article. The whole day, I was busy receiving calls from alcoholics and their families. I received approximately one hundred calls and, to me, it was really a new experience. Today, I have received approximately ten calls. Yesterday, we had six newcomers at our meeting because of these calls, and we are expecting lots more to come. For us in New Delhi, it's a great start. Promilla, an AA member who was answering our helpline, remarked that she also had received more than one hundred calls. That's big number for us, as we have a total of approximately 300 recovering members in Delhi. May God help us in our new endeavor.
