The A.A. booth was next to the Flagler Beach Museum booth. The man in charge was talking to everyone who walked by and asked why we were not doing the same. I explained that we were not promoting A.A. and that we were only giving out pamphlets to those people who stopped by and asked for information. |

My thanks go out to Jerry K. for his organization
and leadership, and to all those that volunteered
their time to tend the booth. Howie B. |

PROMISE
“Our whole attitude and outlook on life will change”
When I came into A.A. I was at a low point in my life, and had
little left to believe in, especially myself.
By the example of those around me that
lived the A.A. commitments, the 12 Steps, the 12 Traditions, came to
meetings, did service work, got a sponser, and "Walked the Walk, as
well as "Talked the Talk" I came to believe that there was that most
elusive thing, HOPE, for a changed and rewarding life. I even
believed that it was possible for me to have that life.
At first I just listened, watched others and learned. I learned from
those with many sober years and I learned from those just attempting
to turn their lives around. I also learned that I was being given a
great gift, a gift of the possibility regaining self-respect.
The self-respect began when I learned respect for those that came
before me, and for the program of A.A. that I learned had helped so
many people throughout the world.
Now, I am learning to watch as the promises unfold for me and for
others. I am also learning the great joy of watching as people share
their lives, challenges, achievements, hopes, happiness and even
their sadness.
I have learned to believe life that is full of wonderful things and
that all I have to do is to stay sober, come to meetings and keep
learning, growing and most of all appreciating what an amazing gift
that I have received.
And for today, I can say that I am happy, and I am proud to be sober and a
member of what I consider to be one of the greatest organizations
there ever was. A. A.
