"So our fellow worker will
soon have friends galore. Some of them may sink and perhaps never get up, but if
our experience is a criterion, more than half of those approached will become
fellows of Alcoholics Anonymous. When a few men in this city have found
themselves, and have discovered the joy of helping others to face life again,
there will be no stopping until everyone in that town has had his opportunity to
recover if he can and will."
