"Certainly, we need leaders, but we must regard them as the human agents of the Higher Power and not with undue adulation as individuals.

Finally, through Helpfulness we express gratitude and pass on to others some of the blessings we have enjoyed these recent weeks, months, years. Truly a Magic Formula for Continued Sobriety....”
