don’t want to drink”. I had crossed the invisible line into Alcoholics Anonymous! What a gift.
The same thing can happen to
you. Don’t quit five minutes before that miracle, when you cross the
invisible line into
AA.

Letters to the Editor’s
To all the people of Flagler, Volusia, and St. Augustine area, and the groups of Flagler Co.,
I want to thank you so much for the outpouring of love and caring on the passing of my wife, and best friend Mary. We often spoke of how blessed we all are for the gift we’ve been given. AA in action is the greatest thing in the world.
Thank you again for all your prayers and concern. I felt them all and they sustained me through a lot. However, I had it pretty easy, as Mary NEVER complained as hard as that may be to believe.
I love you all. Thank you again.
