I have heard hundreds of people say how fantastic the Joe and Charlie tapes are in England, very rarely do I hear anyone say they did what Joe and Charlie were trying to encourage them to do, people pay lip service to AA to the Big Book and to the program, its nice to look into the water but its too damn scary to jump in.
