Robby,

I always thought that a modified version of the disclaimer from Chapter 5 from the original manuscript of the Big Book would be more fitting for a preamble read at meetings. Something like this, perhaps:

Our description of the alcoholic, the chapter to the agnostic, and our personal adventures before and after, have been designed to sell you three pertinent ideas:

(a) That you are alcoholic and cannot manage your own life.
(b) That probably no human power can relieve your alcoholism.
(c) That God can and will.

If you are not convinced on these vital issues, you ought to re-read the book to this point or else find another away!
