I glad I remembered this paragraph back 95 when I sed, pertaining to AA
'nd the steps, "What hell, got nutten else to lose."
> We have been speaking to you of serious, sometimes tragic things. We
> have been dealing with alcohol in its worst aspect. But we aren't a
> glum lot. If newcomers could see no joy or fun in our existence,
> they wouldn't want it. We absolutely insist on enjoying life. We try
> not to indulge in cynicism over the state of the nations, nor do we
> carry the world's troubles on our shoulders. When we see a man
> sinking into the mire that is alcoholism, we give him first aid and
> place what we have at his disposal. For his sake, we do recount and
> almost relive the horrors of our past. But those of us who have tried
> to shoulder the entire burden and trouble of others find we are soon
> overcome by them.
